  • It’s an MSI laptop.

    I tried a few more things last night.  and after restarting the problem is finally fixed… after 6 months of struggling with it.  🙂

    I think this is what did the trick:

     

    Go to: Settings->Devices->Mouse and touchpad->Additional Mouse Options

    Go to the TouchPad tab

    Click on Additional tab

    Palm tracking – slide all the way to minimum

     

     

    Super simple fix but totally bizarre because I am not even using the touchpad, it is disabled and I am using a usb mouse.

     

    Anyway my problem is solved.

  • Hi SBCansever

    On CAD, it happens after any command I enter using the keyboard.  If I use the shortcut buttons on the ribbons I don’t get the same issue.  But I have been using mostly keyboard shortcuts for 15yrs, I draw faster that way.  The delay is in the computer responding to the mouse clicks after I’ve used the keyboard.

    On word/excel, it happens for instance when I type in one line/cell, and then click my mouse to reposition the cursor in another line/cell.  I have to click two or three times before the computer responds to the mouse clicks.  In this time, the mouse is not frozen, I can move, but the clicking has no effect.

    The keyboard is not wireless.

    There are no other devices connected to the laptop, no bluetooth either.

    No MSI gaming app.  I am not into gaming 🙂

  • nope, it’s the laptop’s built-in one.
    when i use the on-screen keyboard, the problem goes away. but obviously i can’t work like that.

  • Thanks Michael

    I’ve done as you suggested, still no difference.

    I’ve realised that the problem is not limited to Autocad.. there is the same issue on Excel, Word, Chrome etc.. basically just a delay between keyboard input and the PC becoming responsive to mouse input.

    I’ve pretty much given up on finding a solution.. next step is to throw PC out the window!

  • Laptop keyboard drivers are up to date and I don’t have the option to roll back drivers.

    Ditto for mouse drivers.

  • Hi Mostafa & SBCansever

    Filter keys is turned off, and so is sticky keys.

    I turned on the on-screen keyboard and tried typing on that keyboard.. and then the problem does not occur.   But obviously I can’t work like that all the time. So it seems the problem lies somewhere with the laptop’s keyboard..

    but I have already tried plugging in another external keyboard, and that also didn’t help.

    Arrgh.  So frustrating.

  • Hi Bill

    I’ve played around with the autocomplete settings and turned it off completely, makes no difference.

     

    SBCansever, typing the full command also doesn’t make a difference.

     

    I have realised that I have a similar issue in microsoft excel when switching from keyboard input to mouse input, so maybe this is not a cad issue after all.

  • Hi SBCansever

    I am working on a laptop, but have tried plugging in an external keyboard, it made no difference.

    I am not working in a network environment.. it’s just me!

    Any other ideas?
