Cannot click and drag, mouse stays still

Yesterday I experienced a new behavior in ARD 3, if I click and hold the mouse down the curson will not move if move my mouse. After I release the button the cursor moves again. This happens in both the computers I'm controlling as well as the application itself, so I cannot move windows, I cannot move files on a remote computer, etc.
Relaunching ARD did not help, restarting the computer did.
Ideas?
I am using an Intuos 3 tablet (have been for quite some time).

I'm not talking about Drag and Drop, I'm describing
merely moving something. Like moving the main Remote
Desktop window or while controlling a client moving
something on screen.
Drag and Drop it the extreme of controlling which I have no problem doing. I can also resize my window and move it while controlling a client.
It may have something to due with my Wacom, but a)
this behavior is new and to my knowledge nothing has
changed on my system, the Wacom has been there
forever and b) I'm not about to start NOT using a
Wacom tablet.
You don't state when the anomaly actually started or was noticed. I am thinking that it may have started with the introduction of ARD3 or with it's update but you do not state such.
Sorry, but if you are not willing to rule out if the problem relates to the Wacom tablet or not, then you are making it twice as hard to troubleshoot and I can't see bringing a tablet over from another building to help recreate/troubleshoot your problem.

  • Cannot click and drag with bluetooth mouse?

    I have installed bluetooth mouse and works fine but cannot click and drag using the mouse in any applications. will highlight stuff and cursor moves fine but then cannot drag using the mouse. Any ideas?

    I was trying with this code which I got from this website as I am beginner of AS3.
    var images:MovieClip = images_mc;
    var offsetFrame:int = images.currentFrame;
    var offsetX:Number = 0;
    var offsetY:Number = 0;
    var percent:Number = 0;
    images.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startDragging);
    images.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopDragging);
    function startDragging(e:MouseEvent):void
    images.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,drag);
    offsetX = e.stageX;
    offsetY = e.stageY;
    function stopDragging(e:MouseEvent):void
    images.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,drag);
    offsetFrame = images.currentFrame;
    function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
    percent =  (e.stageX - offsetX)/images.width;
    percent =  (e.stageY - offsetY)/images.height;
    var frame:int = Math.round(percent*images.totalFrames) + offsetFrame +1;
    while (frame>images.totalFrames)
      frame -=  images.totalFrames;
    while (frame<=0)
      frame +=  images.totalFrames;
    images.gotoAndStop(frame);
    This has to rotate in top also i.e., I also have images sequence placed with top view also.
    If I use keyboard, it has to work with arrow keys also and also with mouse interactivity.

  • Why can't I click and drag clone brush??

    I'm working with a trial version of Aperture and trying to clone out a couple of annoying background details. When I use the clone tool, I cannot click and drag or "paint" with it. I only get a circular clone that is the diameter of the brush. I don't want to clone out the problem areas with a bunch of little circles! I want a smooth, painted cloned area. Is this possible with Aperture or do I need to go back to Photoshop....

    OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

  • Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

    Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks.  The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
    The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
    Thanks

    Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
    For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
    This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
    Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

  • Mouse not clicking and dragging

    My mouse pointer responds well to moving around the screen and double ckicking etc. However when I try to click and drag it 'loses' the object (file name or card in Freecell) or will not select all that I shift& drag. All the drivers are up to date. I have removed, waited and then replaced the Bluetooth USB fitting in the back of the computer and the batteries are fresh. Any Ideas?

  • Mouse click and drag through turntable animation

    Hi all,
    First - thanks for taking the time to look through and possibly helping me with this question.
    I'm just getting to grips with flash cc actionscript 3.0 - so I apologise in advance to my not so technical jargon.
    In the past I have used actionscript 1.0 to create an interactive html file that contains a turntable animation of a 3D model. Users can mouse click and drag to the left or right to 'spin' the model around - however what they are really doing is scrubing through the timeline which contained 360 images of it from 360 degrees. Similar ideas can be found here: Interactive Thyroidectomy
    Now annoying I can't use the old code any more as I'm working in the latest flash cc actionscript 3.0
    So how do I do the same thing but in actionscript 3.0?
    So I've worked this bit out so far
    On my main stage I have two layers - actions layer and another layer with my movie clip (movieclip_mc)
    In the actions layer so far:
    movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
    movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
    function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
      movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
      //I should put something in here about mouseX  - but no idea what
    function onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
      movieclip_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void
    //I have to put something in about total frames - width of movieclip_mc etc but I'm not sure how   
    // this is what someone else did on another forum - but I'm not sure what it means:
         var delta:int = backgroundClip.mouseX - clickedMouseX;
       var wantedFrame:uint = (clickedFrame + delta * clip.totalFrames / backgroundClip.width) % clip.totalFrames;
       while (wantedFrame < 1)
      wantedFrame += clip.totalFrames;
      clip.gotoAndStop(wantedFrame);
    Also I think i need something in the beginning like.....:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    var clickedMouseX:int;
    var clickedFrame:uint;
    var backgroundClip:Sprite = getChildByName("background") as Sprite;
    var clip:MovieClip = getChildByName("animation") as MovieClip;
    clip.stop();
    clip.mouseEnabled = false;
    .....but I'm a bit confused about what all of it means
    So I understand the principle but no idea how to actually make it work - Could anyone help explain it to me or help with the code?
    Thanks so much to anyone who can offer some help
    Catherine

    Hi Ned,
    sorry to bother you again on this subject -
    the script...
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
    worked fine - but when you click and drag on the movie clip it didn't always get to the end of the movie and never carried on through the frames back to the beginning like i wanted it to (such as this one does Interactive Thyroidectomy)
    So I went back to the older 2.0 script and played with it a bit to be :
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
      changeDistance = movieclip.mouseX - startX;
      travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;
      if (travelDistance > movieclip.totalFrames) {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames);
      } else if (travelDistance < 0) {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop (movieclip.totalFrames + (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames));
      } else {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance);
    .... which almost works but it is very stuttery to mouse over and then it has this output error..

    I've obviously put some code in the wrong place - could you help me find out what it might be?
    I haven't labelled any frames odd numbers such as 15.4499999999999989 or labeled scenes than number either.
    I can send you my scene if that would help?
    Thanks very much for your time Ned
    (p.s Or maybe if it is easier you might offer some guidance as to how i can change the action script
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
    to allow it to be more like Interactive Thyroidectomy

  • Windows 7 in boot camp - two finger click and drag issues

    Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 on Boot Camp (MacBook Pro mid-2010, Mac OS X Lion) and I cannot seem to click on a window with one finger, then use a second finger to drag it. Every time I try it brings up the right click menu. Is there any way of fixing this? I want to be able to drag, darn it! Thanks.
    Grant

    Having had the same issue on my MacBook Pro with Boot Camp 5.0.5033 on Windows 8, workaround being external mouse, I have found the following:
    If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is enabled in Control Panel/Boot Camp, in order to Click and Drag one cannot click any place on the trackpad. One must click bottom area of the trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag.
    If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is disabled, Click and Drag works the same way as in Mac OS X: one can click any place on MacBook Pro built-in trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag the window or select a fragment of text. The two fingers Secondary Click, consequently, becomes disabled.
    For me Mac OS X-style Click&Drag is more important, so I disabled two fingers Secondary Click, and assigned Bottom-Right-Corner of the trackpad to be Right-Click instead.
    Don’t know if the question is still open… Hope, however, the info might be helpful to those having the same inconvenience with Click and Drag under Boot Camp.

  • Cursor issues, stuck on click and drag mode.

    My cursor is stuck on click and drag mode.I assumed issue was faulty track pad. Purchased a magic mouse, and initially it was fine then the same issues started occurring. Is this a virus? Ran disk repair and permissions repair , no change.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I cannot tap and drag to select text in Word

    All of sudden, I cannot tap and drag to select text I want to move or edit in Word. Not sure what I did to make it stop working. Please advise....

    "aimbdd" - Thanks very much for your feedback.... That feature you have verified simply disappears with the "new" Multi-touch Trackpad which was first introduced with the early-2008 MacBook Pro, and, which was also carried over from the iPhone...
    The alternative is that you employ the "Mouse Button" or, in this case, the "Track Pad Button" to restore the feature...
    "Will K." - So, the late-2008 MacBook Pro DOES have a button, which you need to "click".
    When you say "Hold" you mean that you need to hold down that "button" ...
    Now, if I understand it correctly, the top surface of the button IS the track pad. That's rather odd!!!
    What happens if you release the button? Or, do you HAVE to hold the button down some how while you take the cursor to the end of your selection? If so, what would you hold it down with if the top surface of the button is the touch sensitive track pad????
    In my opinion, the track pad BUTTON is redundant when you select the various tapping options for the track pad from the preferences, which was also possible on the Powerbook G4 ....
    So, with the new MacBook Pro, which way are we going, forward or backward?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..

  • Issues with Illustrator click and drag

    Running Adobe CC
    on new Macbook Pro OSX 10.10.2
    Recently Illustrator has been slow at tracking my mouse and freezes when I click and drag, and eventually makes the program unresponsive. I have restarted the program, checked to make sure I have the most recent updates. I have also tried restarting my computer, and also running Illustrator without any other programs open and it still doesn't seem to fix the problem.
    I am not experiencing any other difficulties in running other programs, including indesign, photoshop, acrobat, chrome, autocad, etc.

    AI 10 is now 10 years or so old and was never tested on nor designed for Win 7 or Win 8. You should simply assume it's not compatible and will never run properly. feel free to spend your time with the compatibility modes and al lsorts of hacking with the security stuff and otehr settings, but to be honest, it will probably be a waste of time.

    Hey i have a problem, my click and drag IS enabled without drag lock however i am still unable to drag, any tips or hints? im currently running OS X v 10.9.1

    I think you need to put the mouse cursor in the top of the window that you want to drag...
