Maybe this is a dumb question, but I have the following behavior in Visual Studio 2005 while designing forms:
1 – Drop a control onto the form (suppose it’s a Label, just for discussion)
2 – Drag that label to a specific location (aligning w/other controls, whatever)
3 – Release the mouse button
4 – The control is still stuck to the mouse!!!
To get it un-stuck from the mouse, I have to hit ESC, which restores the Label to it’s original location.
This is driving me nuts. I literally have to use the arrow keys to move each control into place, pixel-by-pixel. I don’t observe this behavior anywhere else in VS2005, nor do I observe it in the OS in general.
I am running on Windows XP inside a Parallels Virtual Machine, hosted on OS X. I don’t think there is a driver problem though, b/c as I already said, no other apps demonstrate anything like this.
Please tell me there is some tiny checkbox buried somewhere that will turn off this behavior.
This problem spread to other applications within my VM, so I reinstalled Parallels tools and it went away.
