I have been using Corel for more than 17 years; first time I have this problem (running Vista Office, Professional): All brush functions are affected: When I left click to anchor the brush, the cursor jumps diagonally up and the line is drawn from this new position to where the brush is currently. See pic. The cursor was at A when I left clicked the mouse, then jumped to B and simultaneously draw the stroke to A.
I reloaded Corel entirely, but problem persists.
Any help?
Hi all,
I got the same problem. Cursor jumps diagonaly to bottom right. And it jumps the same "screen distantion". Means, jump did not depends of zoom, tool etc.
My system: Dell Inspiron 1526, USB mouse (but trackpad does the same), Windows Vista Home edition, X3.
Looks like a problem with Vista drivers...
What are your hardware ?
Yes this is exactly my problem. I Work on a Acere TravelMate 6291 with wide screen (i e 9 by 16 format), screen . Iresolution, 1280 by 800. I use Vista professional.

One other thing: WHo of you uses 3:4 screen format and who uses the wide format 9:16? I use the latter.
And yes it affects brushes, clone tool eraser, everything.
I use wide format.
Do all with the problem use wide format?

I am using 17" laptop with a widescreen format. I have tried every resolution setting available for my system all way down to 800x600 and it does it at every setting.
I tried using Corel.com's support area where you are supposed to be able to email a question, but I can't get it to send it. It keeps hanging up at the end of the process. Has anyone else tried to do this?
I really think we now have enough evidence of the problem for a substantial response from Corel. So, how do we transfer this debate to Corel?
Hello,
I have 2 news to share with you.
First, I had possibility to test with wide screen laptop, X3 and WinXP. No such defect.
Second, I just find, that an Adobe application (Flash 8) and Vista "almost" have the same problem. When I try to resize windows on workarea, the "grab-mark" was shown at same top left distance from mouse pointer, what I saw in Corel X3. But it "hits" the mark only, didn't jumps, mouse slides smooth and does his job...
So I still think that our problem are created by combination of Vista drivers and Corel issue...
Can anybody call to Corel headquarter in Canada ? I am located to away...
I just sent an email over at corel.com with a link to this thread. Finally I was able to get it to go through. Unfortunately, due to the weekend, I probably won't get any response until next Tues or Wed. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Thanks so much. I was too occupied with other business this week to pay attention to the problem. I emphasise once again that I have used Corel since 1991, I think it was version 1.15 or such and have never had this serious disfuncionality. If this cannot be rectified I will need to switch from Corel to other software after a 17 year relationship with the company and its software.
