HELP!! Problem dragging audio/midi Logic Pro X

Hi All,


I have a problem when trying to drag and drop audio/midi files.

When I try to place the audio somewhere, sometimes it doesn't move, sometimes it moves somewhere else. This problem is intermittent and starts and stops when it feels like. Sometimes when I shake the mouse about it starts working again.


See Video of problem here: https://youtu.be/ZcpHksPAIyc


This is really ruining my workflow and is a real pain during sessions. Sometimes I have to close and open my Logic to make it work quickly.


- I am using a 2013 Macbook Pro 15" Retina, 8gb Ram 256GB HD

- Currently running Logic !0.2.4 but I have upgraded to the latest version and the problem still persisted so I reinstalled the old one.


Please note:

- I believe this issue started after a OSX software update (I had to update as there was a bug that caused me to have no sound from my mac)

- This problem only happens in Logic Pro X and not in any other software.

- It happens on both my Mouse & Laptop trackpad (not due t faulty mouse, low battery etc)

- I have tried updating my Logic (no difference so I rolled back to previous version)

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.2

I have a similar issue with LPX 10.3.2 using an Apple Trackpad on a Mac Pro. Eventually when I move the mouse pointer around it will switch to click-drag in the middle of a mouse move. This will end up inadvertently selecting and moving things around. I have to click a few times before I move to ensure it doesn't switch into this drag mode. When it does it can reap havoc with my projects. Often it will not get out of click-drag mode even if I power cycle the trackpad. I end up having to quit logic and sometimes force quit it. It really messes up my workflow and sometimes I just have to shut everything down without being able to save changes. I've tried another Trackpad and same thing. It doesn't do this with other apps I use.
