Edius has a mind of it's own!

Had something very similar- it was the mouse. Even with new batteries it started displacing the screen layout and I couldn't drag effects without screen disruption. Can the mouse.

I'd give top priority to trying a fresh new mouse.

I've had several mice go bad in the past. Buttons sticking, internal contacts becomming intermittent, and most oftern cords that have flexed once too often. Using an optical mouse solves some of the probllems, but not all.

I think I will try another keyboard see if anything changes
If nothing try a new mouse

You never know?

Plasma could be right...had that issue a few times, almost drove me crazy......one of my keyboard keys was stuck, and ever so often would stick and then release by itself, so I was unable to track it, until it kept stuck long enough for me to notice.....change of keyboard solved it......on my internet PC, it also happened, and another time, my mouse was getting ready to die, ..a change and it went away....If that does not solve you issue, you may have a drive that is too loaded, or running a bit slow, or heavily fragmented, or you system drive needs to get cleaned up from junk files that usually is in the 'TEMP' folder....

Mark, a stab in the dark here.

I've seen similar wierd behaviours in software that turned out to be either a stuck right mouse key, or a stuck key on a keyboard. A reboot or something mechanical unsticks the offending key (or a state it has caused in the computer), and then the next time you hit that key, or combination of keys, it comes back.

I'd try temporarily replacing the keyboard as well as the mouse.

Okay a bit of a update!
It seems that if I want to drag someting to the timeline I have to click on it, hold for a few seconds then slowly drag the clip or effect over moving very slowly.
I used to be able to drag Colour Matte's now I cant?

If it is a wireless device that uses a battery, replace the bsttery.

I have made no updates or software changes.
I may try a rollback or old saved project.
Could it be a mouse or keyboard problem?

[PaulTV]

Graphics Card drivers? or windows update??

probably not, but you never know... if nothing else works out, a system restore to the day before this started might kill the bug..a bit desperate!

Have you made any OS or software updates or installed new plugins
Can you remember as from when this happened
Could you re load a autosave project when all was ok
Last resort could you do a roll back

[walkabout]

Its the same if I start a new project or open an old one

[walkabout]

I have done a re-boot and it's fine for one edit, then back to behaving strange

[John Lewis]

Is this happening if you start a new project?

Hi:

Restart your PC.

Is the error still there?

I've seen that sort of behavior with some other Windows applications (But not the E6.x I am using). I suspect it is a "undocumented" Windows behavior, possibly related to the mouse in use.

Can you try a different mouse?
