Hello, I had to update the mouse driver awhile back on a different problem.
Just a thought.

I have worked with much larger files without problems. This doesn't seem to be the problem in my case. herman Monday, May 25, 2009, 3:09:40 PM, you wrote: > Herman, I had significant problems with the editor and editing very large files. I could not undo ever without a crash, and the cursor and what was shown on the widow did not match the actual location in the file. I think it was a memory management problem due to the very large file size. I could edit small files in the same instance, and everything worked fine. I finally broke up my large file into about 20 include files. That seemed to make all the problems go away.

I figured that this meant my indicator is not holding up any process. However the chart timing shows as about 12 milliseconds. I also run formulas when I edit them - never thought of that... herman Monday, May 25, 2009, 2:27:30 PM, you wrote: > 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 On May 25, 2009, at 10:41 AM, Herman wrote: 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, herman
