Herman,
This happens to me all the time when the formula is also running (if
it is a somewhat slow one). It seems that an AFL formula has to get
to the end of a cycle before the editor window focus is active for
editing --that is just a guess on my part. Since I am always running
the formula when editing the formula (just the way I work to catch
typos quickly), this AB feature has been my constant companion for
years. I never thought twice about it. ;)
BR,
Dennis

The last few days (I never had this before) I often find my mouse
unresponsive in the formula editor window. I can click and click
until finally (3-4 seconds) my cursor moves and/or I can select text
again. It appears that this is due to some AB process using up my
computer resources however my task manager shows lots of reserve and
i can't figure out what causes it. I am not running any unusual
computing intensive processes. My mouse works fine outside of AB.
I am running the IBc with TWS open and my Internet connection is OK.
I changed mouse but this makes no difference.
Can this be due to failure to erase formulas when performing
Indicator maintenance? I hate to delete formulas... even if they are
not to be in actual use.
Would anyone have any idea what can cause this problem?
Thanks,
