Running the X5 trial on W7-32b. Everything's been fine, until today. I think I inadvertently turned on a macro, don't know how to turn it off. When I simply drag an object on a page, multiple copies of the obj appear along the drag-path. The obj can be a shape, text block, paragraph text, etc. -- happens with anything I drag.
Does anybody know how to turn this feature off?
Thank you.
I've also had this strange mouse behavior in the X5. This happened three or four times. However, I did nothing to fix. Simply, I closed and reopen X5. Everything returned to normal. For more than a week that has not happened again. Unfortunately I do not know what causes that. A playful spirit? Maybe ...
(Under Win XP Pro)
Cause of problem is third party mouse driver. Are you use notebook or installed driver humen interface device (tablet or multifunction mouse) ?.
I have same problem on my laptom some times. If you press space bar once, then this problem fixes.
My mouse is common, optical and wired (not wireless) and no special drive. Just plug and play. I do not use Laptop but desktop PC.

I do not remember if I used this simple tip, but if it happens again, I'll try to see what happens.
My computer IS a laptop & I do use a multifunction cordless mouse, so next time this happens, I'll try the spacebar fix.
Thank you, Kursad, I appreciate the helpful info.
Hi blueberry, This happens to me also on the odd occasion in version X4. I run windows 7 and I think it may be tied into the way it does video on fullscreen. what do I mean? Well if I run a video on fullscreen whilst i have CorelDraw running in the background, when I return to Draw this multiple copy thing happens. So how to get around it. You can get it to do this on purpose by holding the space bare whilst an object is dragged and copies will be created along the path on the fly. It appears the Draw program has somehow had the space bar on after a certain instruction set elsewhere has been executed. So what i do to stop it is simply hit the spacebar again and CorelDraw picks up that the spacebar is now off and all returns to normal. Hope that helps you too.
