mouse copy past not working

Post by Andremusic »

Hi!
No idea why,but suddenly my mouse doesn't copy and past anymore. Can this be related to Atlantis or is this a windows problem you know about? It worked fine before and I don't remember making any installations of other software since.

Please make sure that the "Tools | Options... > Edit > Drag & Drop" box is checked.

I restarted windows just in case and now the mouse works normal again. I did check the settings before in tools, and remember that it was not checked. Now, after restarting the pc I looked at that again because you told me and it is checked without me doing anything!

strange story, but at least everything works again.

Thanks!

Again mouse problems. This time I can not select text over the end of the page into the next. I alway select a couple of pages and save the selection as a new document. But now with this mouse problem this is not possible anymore. Is this a bug since the update?

Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.1.5 includes no mouse-related changes in comparing to any older 1.6.x.x version of Atlantis. Are you sure that all this has anything to do with Atlantis itself? Could you explain the problem with more details?

Hi,
I am not sure what gives the problem, but the last days I had also a window popping up, called easy access or something like that. Happened after pressing the shift key 5 times in a row. I believe the program that gives the mouse problem has to do with sticky keys option. I turned the short key off, maybe this will help.

Hi, André!
I am not sure this will be of any comfort to you but the same problem is happening in MS Word 2007. It seems that the Windows StickyKeys option is more sticky than it should. :?
A glimmer of hope though: this problem usually disappears if you leave a few seconds to elapse after you have pressed the Shift key 5 times in a row.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Robert
