Steam actually moving game to wrong drive

I have set up steam with 3 libraries. (C:\ = SSD, E:\ = HDD1 and K:\ = HHD2)

 

I want to move a game to the library on K:\ and I actually use the same folder, that I setup as a library early. Now, whenever I paste the path, it just moves the game files between C:\ and E:\ each time.

What did they program? o.O

I did it, just as described. Using the official method. The problem is fixed now.

 

Solution for everyone: If you paste the location and apply, steam does not know the new path - it is like some forms in browsers, if you do not leave the field, it actually thinks, it still is empty, because it gets applied, when a trigger is hit - like a fake layer, that registers the input, but it needs a trigger, to actually accept that. The trigger for this example is set, if you just use the dropdown menue. Being an advanced user, does not make it easy all the times. Sometimes you have to use a PC, as if it is dumb.
