I cannot use the mouse to select object or text reliably unless Keynote is at the 100% zoom level. When zoomed zoom mouse clicks are interpreted at the wrong location, making it impossible to drag to resize objects and difficult to select text.
Has anyone else seen this?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5
After some more experimenting I realized the problem might originate from my KVM software. I have a Mac and a PC connected and to avoid having to switch between two sets of keyboard/mouse I have a kvm software called "ShareMouse". It's an excellent piece of software (mostly) but using it I can zoom using the mouse wheel in combination with holding Ctlr on my keyboard. If I instead use the Mac's trackpad and pinch-zoom, or pick one of the available standard zoom levels from the "View" menu the problem goes away.
I think we can close this issue as it's probably only happens for people like me, using a non-standard Mac setup.
Thanks anyway!

Hello Jonas,
Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about that behavior with your mouse in Keynote.
Do you experience a similar behavior when zoomed out below 100%, such as 75% or 50%?
Is Keynote all up-to-date on your Mac? Use the App Store to update apps on Mac
Is this occurring with your trackpad, an external mouse, or both?
Hopefully those details will help to further isolate and address this behavior.
Take care.
