Question

Drawing window stuck to mouse cursor.

Answer 1

I am using a Late 2011 Macbook Pro running OSX Lion and Firefox.

While I am drawing a picture occasionally if I attempt to move the drawing window out of the way to view the current posts, the drawing window will become linked to my cursor. Even when the touchpad is not clicked in the drawing window is stuck to my mouse. As I move my mouse around the screen the drawing window moves with it. If I move my mouse off the OpenStudy screen the drawing window sits there at the edge. As soon as I bring it back to OpenStudy the drawing window instantly sticks back under my mouse.

I have tried right clicking and selecting all the available options. Nothing practical works to unstick the drawing window from my cursor. There are two solutions I have come up with. Sometimes I can move my mouse around randomly so fast that it becomes unstuck from the chat window. The other option is to exit the tab, reopen the Question and redraw my drawing.

I am not sure if this is a known bug or not. If it is I apologize. Has anyone else experienced this? I have a hunch it has to do with the touchpad of the Macbook Pro, Firefox and the interface of OpenStudy.

Answer 2

try right clicking..it'll stop the dragging

Answer 3

Sometimes right clicking will stop the dragging. Sometimes it does not. It seems as though there are a few different ways to get this bug. The less devastating one is if I try and drag the drawing window up past the question area and into the notification bar. In this instance when I bring my cursor back to the question area the drawing window is stuck to the cursor but i can simply right to disable dragging. I have not yet figured out what causes the more lethal bug that forces me to quit the tab but I will investigate and pay close attention to when it happens.

Answer 11

I've had this problem before with the equation box. Sometimes when I try to move it so I can see the posts it gets stuck and the only way to fix it is by refreshing the page and then I have to start all over.
