Mouse cursor jumps top-left
Posted: 2018 Jan 28, 13:02
Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem, or why it's started suddenly happening for me. I just downloaded the latest 32 bit Lite version (3.5.0.2) but found the same result.
- When I first open xplorer2 after starting my PC, I use it and everything works normally, however
- At some point after navigating through folders and scrolling a bit (I haven't experimented enough to see what triggers it but it's about 5 minutes after normal use), this weird behaviour:
- When I left click and drag the cursor in the main window in order to select multiple files, as soon as I start moving the mouse after left-click, the cursor instantly jumps to the top left corner of the screen. The mouse button is still held down, so this means I have selected all the files above the cursor, and the window starts scrolling up (since I'm still dragging above the window contents).
I just found another point to add:
- This problem only occurs if there are no files in the window selected. So if I leave the files erroneously selected in that state, I can go back and drag and select files again, and it works as normal. If I clear the selection by clicking outside the filenames (I have full row selection off), then dragging causes the jump again.
I can quit xplorer2 and restart, but the behaviour is still there. I find rebooting Windows seems to make it work normally, for a few minutes at least.
Not sure where to go with this. Any suggestions on things to check / more info to provide?
Much appreciated!
P.S. I should add that obviously I've tested Windows Explorer and other apps and ruled out this behaviour anywhere else!
