Why doesn't sierracharts have the functionality to click and drag the charts when in the crosshairs mode?
I have to keep going back to the hand tool then crosshair/hand tool /crosshair/hand tool - backwards and forwards.

Is there a tickbox somewhere that enables this?

No, what you are doing is the only way to perform the chart drag.

If you have not already done so, you can setup a Control Bar with the tool selections to be able to switch between the settings a little bit quicker. Refer to the information here on customizing control bars:
Control Bar: Customize Control Bars >> Control Bar 1-12 (Global Settings)

There is support for exactly what you want by setting the Chart Values tool to always be on with Action When Other Tools Selected:

Is there a way to be in 'hand' mode:

then left click causing both:
1. 'grab' (which does happen)
2. see the cross-hair (which does not happen)

I think I could do this in the previous version. Thank you.

Yes, as specified above, you need to set the setting for Action When Other Tools Selected to Always Enabled when Using Other Tools. Refer to the information here:
Chart Drawing Tools: Action When Other Tools Selected (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values >> Chart Values)
