As in, when I click to the right of the little blinking line it skips a space over to the right, and vice versa when I click to the left of it. When I right click anywhere it shows up with "cut/copy/paste/etc", even when I'm clicking outside of the text box. When I move my mouse over the toolbars themselves they highlight, but I get no reaction when I click on a button.
Occasionally it'll work for a while and I can import a file, but after a while it'll get stuck again. It happens with varying frequency too; sometimes I can get through a few edits and other times I have to restart Sigil without having done anything since it won't respond. I resorted to using keyboard shortcuts but you can only get so far with them 
Any help would be appreciated... this also happens in Calibre (part of the reason why I tried Sigil) but not in other programs, like MS Word. Thanks! |
2 programs or more with the same problem almost always (Almost, because the 2 you mentioned use some of the same building blocks. ) something wrong at your computer/mouse.
You did NOT mention stuff about your OS or hardware, like: run XP pro SP3 on a P4 w/1.5G RAM
By any chance, are you running XP AND have Calibre 7.
36 or 7.
37?
Reason I ask, is I recently had an odd display/keyboard interaction appear after weeks of no problem. This
may (slight chance. Timing is right) be caused by a recent upgrade in one of the building blocks Calibre uses.
Ctrl+1,2 or 4 should 'throw' the current
window to the numbered display screen (3 headed rig
). Very recently, other keystrokes after a mouse click, send the window to another (?) screen.
Unfortunately, 3 different updates have happened recently: MS Update, my A/V and Calibre.
