Text selection and rearrange cases using the mouse stopped working

[ben64]

LV2021 (21.0.1 32-bits), Windows 11 (25H2 last update 18-08-2026)

Suddenly I can't select text (label free label, string control) using the mouse by clicking and dragging. Also, when I want to rearange the cases of a structure I can select a case by clicking on it but can't drag it to another position. There may have been a Windows update since the last time I used LabVIEW, I realized the problem yesterday and haven't used LabVIEW for a few weeks.

The problem is only with LabVIEW, I can select text in any other application. I have looked at the mouse settings in Windows and at the LabVIEW options but I didn't find anything that can relate to this issue.

Anybody had a similar issue and/or any suggestion?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi ben64

I haven't experienced this issue myself, but as a troubleshooting step,
I would suggest restarting LabVIEW and creating a new VI to check whether the issue is specific to the project or existing VIs.

This might help narrow down the cause.

Same versions but no issue.

Finally found that it was caused by the docking station. Changed it and the problem's gone. Still strange that it was only in LabVIEW that I couldn't select the text!
