Has anyone else experienced any problems with the pieces,
1. Either they refuse to stick to your cursor when clicked upon.
2. Stay stuck to your cursor, or drop into the picture before placed.

I seem to be having these problems recently, my preferred choice of browser is Google Chrome and changing is not an issue. My PC is an old AMD Athlon 3400+ processor, 756mb Memory, Radeon 9500+pro Graphic card. Windows XP pro

stevedover1965, Yes, I have had the same issues recently, using a Compaq computer with Yahoo as a browser.

Yes, I have had the same issues too using Mac OS 10.4 and Firefox, so I don't think it's OS/browser dependent. But I finally noticed that when the pieces drop into the picture before placed and can't be removed using "undo", you can just click on them to pick them up again. Phew! At least my picture was not ruined.

Think Draw I am experiencing problems grabbing and holding onto pieces in order to place them within my pictures! Either the mouse click won't grab the piece or the piece will drop out before being placed, requiring me to remove it and start again. This is not something I have experienced ... EVER! Until recently and I keep saving and reloading the picture but that does not help...It takes me a very long time to produce results because of this....PLEASE HELP! Suggestions please if anyone else has experienced this.

It was a mouse problem for me! I found that cleaning the mouse (which involves taking it apart) helped enormously.

I use a laser mouse, so I really wouldn't try taking that apart.

Those still do gradually get dirty, but they're easy enough to clean. Google it. Why not do a quick swap to a different mouse just to see if that's actually your problem? G'luck, steve; I know how insanely frustrating that can be!

I have thi s problem something, but not so annoying. I use a laptop (acer) with touchpad, internet explorer and windows XP.

when the piece stiks ot the cursor I simply replace it on the palette and click and it unstick. If accidentally dropped, I can remove it with undo. It happen expecially if I grab the piece on its edge, but not so often.

Hmm since Google chrome have upgraded the browser to series 13 this problem seems to have gone away. Thanks guys and gals for your suggestions, seems to have fixed itself.
