Re[4]: [amibroker] Sluggish mouse in Formula editorHello,
Do not install mouse drivers from Logitech. Simply use Microsoft driver that is
shipped with Windows.
Also when using wireless equipment make sure that the distance between mouse
and the receiver
is less than 2 meters. Otherwise they could have trouble communicating. It is
quite common
if you move the wireless mouse too far from the receiver. Note that all
obstacles, especially metal
ones greatly decrease usable distance.

FYI, an update.
After doing a complete new OS install (was due anyway) the problem was still
there. When I saw someone on the net mention problems with wireless mice, I
replaced my LogiTech Wireless (USB receiver) laser-mouse with an old-fashioned
wired-USB mouse. For a week now I haven't experienced a sluggish or
non-responsive mouse/keyboard. It seems this solved the problem and I just love
the new responsiveness of my computer!
I can't explain how a sluggish mouse would be able to lock-out the keyboard
... but I am pretty sure that my keyboard also became unresponsive when my
mouse did. Perhaps the cpu was busy trying to find the wireless mouse or there
was interference with my wireless LAN or other wireless devices in my house. Of
course my battery was OK.
best regards,
herman

Hello,
1. Check your graphic card drivers/settings (hardware acceleration on?)
2. Check any 3rd party softwares that can affect normal operation of
Windows (accelerators, memory "turbo", antiviruses,
etc, etc)
3. Make sure that you don't have any keyloggers (viruses) trojans
running in background - these are very likely to cause slowdowns
not mentioning security issues. There are some trojans that make and
send screenshots to hackers. That is going to kill performance.
4. Make sure that nothing has replaced standard Windows Rich Edit
controls (riched32.dll riched20.dll)

Yes, i have these spurious copy/pastes too, I had that before but only
rarely. Now it is frequent - I figured it was due to my sluggish mouse response.
Something has changed. I am just guessing but it could be the un-do
buffer or copy-past buffer that is filing up....but why now, i don't think any
of those features have changed for a long time. I must be doing something
differently. A chart refresh could cause it (I have extensive ticker trees but
they are usually not visible, my layout tab is usually open and on top) however
why would that occur during editing?

Herman,
I have the same problem, but haven't been able to pin it down.
My observations:
Doesn't seem to happen until I have done a lot of copying and
pasting. I can imagine some buffer filling up causing it.
Isn't related to Indicator maintenance in my case.
When it occurs, it sometimes results in a spurious pasting of
some little snippet in the wrong place, which I then have to locate and
correct. This can be frustrating!
Doesn't occur when outside of AB, as in your case.

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
