Units Moving without clicking

Post by MilRevKo »

Has any one had the misfortune of having units move after highlighting them but no clicking to move them. Literally moving on their own after being selected. If I wait a few seconds the info panel pops up and they move normally but, if I am not paying attention and I move the cursor, bam! the unit moves. Especially units that I have entrench or fortified then they get caught in an disengagement and loss all their move points. I can use undo some time but not all the time.

I have taken apart my new mouse to see if smth was stuck inside, and changed to a different mouse and it still will do the mystery move...

Kevin and I both have experienced this phenomenom. I'm not sure what Kevin did to fix his situation but I went to KMART and purchased a new mouse for like $10 and haven't had that happen again yet. It was probably that I was holding down the mouse button too long or something and probably didn't need a new mouse at all but hey, it fixed the problem I was having so....

What version are you on? There was an issue that I think was introduced in the 3.4 Beta and resolved with the 191 Alpha. Windows has this lovely habit of saying the mouse moved and THEN saying it clicked way back there!!!!

It's most noticeable if you have the range rings on since they slow down the system.

I still have the problem. If you turn off range circles, it doesn't happen. But it is annoying to have units head off in the wrong direction simply because you moved your mouse the wrong way.
