Clicking on [Default line width] + or - can cause viewport origin to change

Post by jackkirk »

Hi, the title says it all:

Clicking on [Default line width] + or - can cause viewport origin to change

I have tried everything I can think of but clicks seem to be able to (sporadically) get under the Default.. panel and cause a point to be selected which becomes the new viewport origin.

This is driving me nuts.

I'm using Windows 10 with all the latest upgrades.

Any help appreciated...

I worked it out.

I have 2 PCs on my desk:
  • an average performance PC for everyday stuff - email, browsing, coding etc
    a top of the line Alienware PC (well it was top of the line a year ago) for CC
What was happening on the Alienware PC was I had the mouse double click speed setting to slow.

This meant that when I thought I was doing a succession of single clicks on [Default line width] + or - I was actually sporadically doing double clicks - which get consumed at the point cloud level and cause the viewport origin to change.

Solution was to up the mouse double click speed and make sure my succession of single clicks on [Default line width] + or - are consistently slower than this.

Now works fine...
