Q: Drag and Drop stops working!

I have been using various versions of Final Cut for the last several years, and other similar video editors for much longer (finally left the world of the PC for video editing a few years ago!).

 

I am excited by Final Cut Pro X and am learning it quickly.   For some reason, very soon (as soon as 5 minutes in) the drag and drop functionality stops working.   I can't drag clips from the browser, can't drag effects, etc.   I know how to get the same results with keyboard shortcuts, but I'm just much faster with the ol' mouse.

 

I am in the midst of my first major project using FCPX and having to reboot (edit, restart FCPX, rebooting not necessary!) every 5 to 15 minutes to restore D&D is getting old! 

 

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

 

The selection tool is selected (no settings are changed from when the program first boots).

 

The machine is an i3 with 12GB of RAM, so should have plenty of resources.   Otherwise it's working like a champ!

 

Thanks for any help!!!
