Cursor (or Finder?) acts weird
Hi!
Have used the same setup (hardware and software) a year and a half without this kind of issue. But about a month ago, it started.
1. When hovering a link, regardless if on a website or e.g. a program, the cursor turns into a hand (or any other way it's indicating that it's a link). But nothing happens when I then click. I have to move the cursor around inside the "active" area of the link of the link and click several times before something actually happens.
2. When trying to select certain text or code in a file, it usually starts out OK, i.e. the text/code is being selected as I wish while moving the cursor. But suddenly, it flips and the text/code that was seleced an instant ago becomes "unselected" and parts of the text/code that I haven't yet reached with the cursor becomes selected. (Hope you understand what I'm trying to describe).
3. When e.g. trying to set the cursor at some certain point, e.g. inside a text or code, it's hard to make it stick. I'm forced to move the cursor around a little bit while clicking to make it stick.
I suspect it's my Plexgear mouse that's about to retire completely. But I'm worried that it might be the OS itself and/or Finder that is at fault. So, before buying a new mouse (I'm lazy and greedy) I thought I'll pop the question here.....
What could this come from?
Cheers,
Dan
