Why does the mouse button let go whenever I stop moving?

Any time that I try to drag something I run into this problem. I can start to drag, but if I ever stop moving the mouse, even if I'm still holding the button down, FCP just unclicks the mouse button automatically. Why could this possibly be?

What are all 4 Mighty Mouse buttons mapped to? Starting with left, then right, then scroll ball button, then side buttons. I only ask because it could be possible you are activating a different button when you stop, and the mouse switches to THAT function, thereby letting go of the left click function.

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    I'm getting the same thing.  This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing.  This is ridiculous.
    My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu.  It works okay when editing photos.  The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus.  My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue.  I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum.  It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue.  I hope this isn't the case with this issue.

  • Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

    Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why does the Back button require two mouse clicks?

    I might not have used the word "Normal".  "Typical" maybe.  I suppose "Normal" is acceptable in the context of "SNAFU".
    Wait until you make an edit on one of your own posts to fix a stupid typo, then later look to find the typo back and you can no longer edit it.  And what's up with that messed-up Javascript that shows up at the top of some quoted messages?
    These forums are barely usable, but a bright spot is the color-managed photo attachment capability (i.e., you can upload an image with a non-sRGB color profile and the server will convert it).  I suppose if anything Adobe could have been expected to get that part right.

  • Why does the bookmark button keeps moving from navigation to bookmark toolbar when I don't put it there; how to solve this?

    Because my screen isn't that big, I want my bookmark-toolbar-items (the item for the special bookmarks folder) to take all width, and I want the bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar (because I don't need such a long url field).
    As you can edit the toolbars and their buttons, I did change it to what I want, but whenever saving & closing the edit-window the bookmarks button (with the drop-down menu) moves down one toolbar automatically. This is very, very annoying, not the least because in the editing mode it is ok (it also is saved correctly).
    Any way to overcome this problem?

    When the Bookmarks Toolbar is displayed, the Bookmarks button automatically moves from the Navigation Toolbar to the Bookmarks Toolbar. This is intended behavior. I can't tell you ''why'' though, as it doesn't make any sense to me either and I likely find it twice as annoying as you do.
    Install the following extension.

  • Why does the "mute" button not "mute" the new iPad?

    Hi,
    the problem drives us crazy.
    We bought the new iPad on launch Day and every other App (like Hotel Dash) does play Sounds even though the iPad is muted. Really anoying are "between Level" Ads or "pause Ads" (like in Wedding Dash, Lost Luxuries) which started playing while my wife was in the Subway.
    The mute Button should turn the iPad to mute without exceptions. How can we fix it? Or do we have to return the new iPad?
    Regards
    Tim

    Thanks for your Reply. The Problem is, we are not listing to Music or watching an Movie - we are using an App, which plays Advertisement.
    Game Sounds do not play at all, but the Advertisement is playing at full Volume. This should not happen.
    Ok it is "not a bug it's a feature" or just abuse by App Developers, which i have no controll over? I have to use the volume rocker all the time? Why put a "mute" button on an iPad?
    As you were told, the mute button mutes system sounds.  Other sounds are muted via the rocker.  That's the way it is.

  • Why does the Send button disappear on iCal invites?

    Just to premise this post with the fact that this is from our networked work server, all running Macs on 10.6.7 and using iCal 4.0.4. I'm writing this on behalf of a colleague.
    When she goes to send invites to events like Board/Committee meetings in iCal, the "Send" button often disappears. The title is there, there's a day/time and location, and the contacts are pulled from her Mail/Address Book contacts. Sometimes the send button stays as it should, and other times it disappears after a few seconds, with no way to bring it back up. So sometimes she tries to add a group of contacts and immediately hit Send before it disappears - but this often leads to typos or mistakes due to her rush.
    Although I've used a Mac as my primary computer for years, I've never really used iCal much, so I didn't know how to help directly.
    Any reasons why the Send button would not be showing? I was thinking perhaps it was an issue with the contacts, but they come directly from her daily Mail/Address Book. I saw her go through the steps - it doesn't appear she's missing anything. Any help would be great.

    perhaps you could post a screen capture of that?

  • Why does the mouse 'run' to the lower right side of desktop and freeze when a SmartBoard is plugged into the USB port.  Running 10.8.5.   Sometimes the pointer has a cloud under it but it always freezes.

    I run SmartBoards connected to iMacs running 10.7 and 10.8 throughout my school.  On one of these computers the mouse has recently started freezing the minute a SmartBoard is plugged in to the USB port.  The mouse 'runs' to the bottom right side of the screen, a cloud often is under the pointer, and it is not longer interactive.  You can move the mouse upward a bit with the cloud following some of the time but it does not work.  Once the SmartBoard is unplugged the mouse works normally.  This particular computer worked fine with the SmartBoard until recenlty.  Any solutions or ideas?

  • Why does the download button for creative cloud keep telling me to download it from a computer?

    I have a dell all in one desktop and everytime I try to click the download button for creative cloud or photoshop, it says "Creative cloud/photoshop is a desktop app, download it from a computer." This doesn't make any sense.

    Which browser are you using to download the application? Whatever browser you're using, it is recommended to clean the browser's cache and then quit the browser, relaunch it and login with your credentials again.  If this does not work try another browser..

  • Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

    the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few days after installing 3.6.3

    Hello Jim.
    It's probably one of three things:
    #your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
    #you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
    #or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Why does the power button intermittently fault -- Not work to wake up the phone?

    Iphone 4 occassionally won't respond to the power/sleep button.  Isn't stuck -- works normally much of the time, but occassionally acts as though the battery is dead.  Have to plug into a power source to activate phone.  Battery will show same charge it had before it went into sleep mode.  Can be near fully charged and proceed working for the rest of the day just fine.
    Button does not stick or seem faulty in any way.  But, when you least need it to not work - such as in travel - or for emergences and have not power source to get to -- is bad.  An unreliable phone for a doctor is not good.  I have presented the problem to a few repair shops who are either not familiar with this behavior or suggest that is may be software rather than hardware.  Something miss reading the battery to the phone indicating that the battery is dead when in fact it is not.  Had the phone restored at the Apple store and this did not solve the problem.
    It seems I did run across a blog that this occurred with some IOS update?

    There are a simular trick to get the home button to work, here it is.
    Open a default iOS application, such as Stocks, Calculator, or Weather
    Press and hold down the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” dialog appears, then release
    Now press and hold the Home button until the “Slide to Power Off” screen disappears, quitting the application.

  • Why does the "Home" button open another set of tabs ontop of my existing?

    when I use an existing tab to go to another web site and then want to return to my original tabs I hit the home button and instead of reloading all my home screen tabs it opens another set of tabs along with the ones that are currently up. IE ,I have -5- tabs that open on start up. If I hit the home key I will then have -10- whci are duplicates of the one that are up. In IE the home key just takes me back to the tabs that open on start up. Do I have something set wrong?? I am a new user of Firefox. Thanks!!

    When you hit the Home button the active tab is reloaded with the first of your homepages and the other 4 homepages will open in new tabs; IE does that differently. Sorry, there is no setting in Firefox to change that action. There might be an add-on available to change that action, but I can't point you to it as I am comfortable with the current way Firefox does that (but then again I only have 2 homepages).
