cannot select transform tool, automatically selects pan tool when I click on an element

Every time I try and move a simple text box, the tool automatically switches to the pan tool from the transform tool. OVER AND OVER again. I have to quit the program and restart. It makes me want to find new program and abandon motion

Logic Pro 10.4.1 mouse tool problems Been having this problem on all Logic tracks I've been working on. Very glitch arrow tool. When I try and lasso holding mouse down and drag to make my selection, not all I want selected will select. Further the mouse when selecting, will select something I haven't selected and move the region. Very annoying.In piano roll, sometimes the zoom arrows when clicked and held down simply won't zoom. Sometimes when I select a note, the note cannot be moved.Tried to delete com.apple.logic10.plist but it does not exist in Library/Preferences.Any ideas?Thanks

Zoom (System Preference) Keeps Turning On Under the Accessibility System Preference, the Zoom function can be turned on and off by toggling the Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom. So I have it turned off. When I hold the control key and scroll the mouse wheel, suddenly this option is re-enabled and the screen zooms in. I then have to go into the System Preferences again to turn it off. But it keeps happening. Its unfortunate that this shortcut (control + mousewheel) is also used by MS Powerpoint to zoom into a page. But instead of zooming the PPT page, it enables the system Zoom again. Is there any workaround for this?

I have not experienced anything like that. Whenever the application misbehaves, it’s worth trying to delete the preferences. To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting Motion and click Delete Preferences.
