  • Mouse Cursor Jumps on Ctrl Key Press

    (This is probably some newbie mistake, so forgive me.)

    I’m having an unexpected issue in Sony Vegas Pro 8. Whenever I hold the Ctrl key and move the mouse (trying to change the speed of a clip, etc.), the mouse cursor jumps to another location on the screen. It seems to jump to a nearby place on app — like the frame of a window — which makes me think it’s some kind of “feature” that I need to turn off.

    I does not occur in other applications. It occurs on both my USB mouse and my laptop’s track pad. I’m using Vista sp1.

    Can anyone tell me what’s going on and how to disable it? Thanks.

    I’m having the same problem in Vegas 7.0. Every time I press the “Ctrl” key and hold it down, my mouse begins to jump to the upper left hand corner of the screen once I move it. IT’S BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE SPEED OF A CLIP! SOMEONE HELP!

    Also, it only happens in Sony Vegas, nothing else. I also tested out a different mouse just to check, same thing.
