Hi,
I seem to have gotten EA v13 stuck in an odd "mode".  When I right click in my diagrams I get the Toolbox context menu showing up instead of the standard menu options.  I'm not sure how I managed to do this and I can't seem to find a way out of it.  Does anyone know how to get the context menu back to it's standard options?

Sounds like the Ctrl+Right click menu.

I know I regularly end up in a situation under Wine (Not just EA) where a key gets stuck down. It fixes after pressing the key again.

Coincidence. The last days I had that same situation (working under Parallels) so wasn't sure where that came from (too long chain of possible causes). I ended in the Windoze-solution (close programs and start again). Will remember this - hopefully.

Thanks for the help.  I am using Windows Remote Desktop on a Mac and a reboot of both the remote PC and my Mac seems to have gotten the software working again.

Or test to see if you've accidentally switched on sticky keys. On Windows, press Shift five times; Other OS may have something different.

Just had the issue again (no idea how I got there). I had a message selected and while the properties diaglog was open the QL box was moving with the cursor in the background. But nothing happend, I could not use the dialog. Remembered this thread and hit alt and ctrl (can't remember which unlocked it) but then the dialog was enabled. The QL in the background still travelled with the mouse. Well....
