Strange behaviour of LabVIEW when I select and move a local

Solved!
Go to solution
Since short LabVIEW behaves strange on my machine when I move a local variable over my block diagram. When I select the local by dragging the cursor over it and then move the local with the cursor keys or mouse over the diagram, the corresponding indicator moves the same direction. It sort of sticks to the local. When I delete the local, the control or indicator itself also disappears! The same happens with references. With property nodes I do not have this problem. Meanwhile I discovered that when I drag the cursor over a local with the shift key pressed that this problem does not arise. Another hint: normally when you drag the cursor over a local en release the mouse button, ‘waking ants’ are surrounding the local. That’s not the case on my machine. When I click on the local to select it, all behaves how it should. But I am used to select stuff by dragging the cursor over it and this is getting annoying. I am quite sure that is has something to do with Windows because different LabVIEW versions behave in the same way (7.1.1, 8.0.2, 8.5.1, 8.6). Anyone?

Hi Steffan,

 

Thanks for the post!

 

This seems rather random behavior. And Im afraid I can't see an easy fix to this (i.e. Isn't going to be a right-click change option kind of answer).


Did you install or alter anything on your machine recently which could have caused this?

 

From my experience labVIEW random behavior are best fix by doing a full reinstall - please see previous link for advice.


Kind Regards,
