Hi,
I seem to be having some problem in dragging curosor to the left most point on the curve. When the cursor is at position 28 and I drag it to the left, its position becomes 0 even though there are 5-6 data points between 28 & 0. The problem only occurs when I drag the cursor using mouse. If I use the arrows in cursor legend then the cursor is correctly set to position 26.5 if the left arrow is clicked.
I do not show cursor legend in my actual application so this becomes a big problem for some of the customers.
I have attached the vi here which demonstrates this problem.
Please take a look at it and let me know if there is a workaround to this problem.
Thanks,
Ritesh

I am runninv LV 2012 Sp1 on Win 7 x64.
Do you have a windows machine where you can run this code?

I did try it on other windows machines and the problem only occur on certain machines.
I finally found the source of the problem and I believe its a bug in LabVIEW. The problem occurs based on the position of the graph in the vi. If I move the graph few pixels to the right in my vi, the the cursor doesn't seem to disappear.
I will create a screencast and post it here.

Here is the screencast which demonstrates the bug:

I updated all the windows updates and still its happening.
I noticed that it only happens if the X-axis is set to Log mode. If I set it to Linear that cursos disappearing problem doesn't happen.
Can someone please give me some insight as to why it might be happening? This is becoming super annoying now.

I am not sure about that particular problem but there are other problems in general with the use of cursors on log scales. Bring Cursor to Center malfunctions gloriously on log scales.
