Quick drop not dropping on click when using team viewer

I'm guessing there is not a workaround for this, and it probably has something to do with team viewer hooking (probably not the right term) into the windows when it's open. Even if I just have team viewer open, not connected to anyone and it's just running, Quick Drop will not drop a selected node unless I double click it specifically in the listbox. If it is just autocompleted in the combo box, a single click won't drop anything.

I was wondering if you can think of a reason for this. It's not a critical issue by any means, just something I need to be aware of when teamviewer is open.

There have been other isolated reports of certain 3rd-party software messing with Quick Drop, but this is the first time I've heard of an issue with Team Viewer.  You mention that double-clicking an item in the listbox will work...does pressing Enter also work (by dropping the auto-completed item)?

FYI, I just installed Team Viewer from their website, and left it running, but without a connection, and Super Quick Drop still works just fine for me.

Sorry, I was unclear/wrong in my description. The problem will happen if I'm "online" with teamviewer. I don't have to be remoted in another computer, but I do have to be online (i.e. sign in from the "computers and contacts" window). As soon as I do that my active LabVIEW window gets the little teamviewer icon shown below, and that's when things stop working.

Yes, enter selects it and sticks it to my mouse, which I can then click to drop the node

I would suggest disabling that feature (which allows you to connect to a specific window) by clicking the button and setting the option to globally disable it (if memory serves it's some backward setting). I have this option disabled and I don't remember ever seeing a problem with QD.

First, thanks for posting.  Coincidentally, I had turned off the QuickConnect button recently but had gotten so accustomed to not using Super Quick Drop that I didn't realize it was working again.  Here's how to fix it:

Open TeamViewer and go to Extras » Options » Advanced » Show advanced options » General advanced settings » QuickConnect button » Configure.  Then, either uncheck the "Show QuickConnect button" checkbox or type "LabVIEW.exe" and click Add.  After clicking OK, exit TeamViewer and restart it.

One double-click to find them,
One interface to bring them all
and in the panel bind them.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try it today but I'm assuming turning off the feature will fix it.
