Gimp uses mouse/keyboard more intensively than other software so is the first to demonstrate trouble. Usually it's Gimp that tells me that my mouse batteries are dying.
- Hardware:
- Plain defective, such as worn out contacts that "bounce" and send multiple strokes/clicks or stuck keys
- Doing strange things, like for instance that Logitech mouse that appears to the PC as a mouse+keyboard and actually sends keyboard keystrokes
- Software that intercepts the flow of events:
- Session recorders
- Security software
To debug all this, a first thing to do is to spot a repeatable misbehavior, figure out what mouse/keyboard event is supposed to trigger this in Gimp, and then wonder how that event is produced.
thank you very much <3<3 I'm gonna do my research around it
I tried:
- using a usb port that I never use (so it's basically new)
- turning off every gimp shortcut
- turn off mouse and touchpad (can't turn off the keyboard for some reason)
none of those worked
there was a recent windows update
I'm afraid it's comming from that
I'm thinking about saving all my work and reboot the laptop u-u;
