Statechart code editor is giving me the finger (LabVIEW 2012, Win 7 32-bit)

Hello,

 

Is anyone else seeing this? In my statechart code editor (for actions, reactions and guards), the Position/Size/Select cursor and the Connect Wire cursor have both been replaced with the Operate Value cursor (a.k.a. the Finger cursor). It makes it hard to tell what LabVIEW will do when I click my mouse, and it looks weird to place wires with a finger.

 

Also, the little blue "resize squares" sometimes don't show up, when I hover over an Input/State node

I've heard of errors related to using the icon editor causing the cursor to be stuck with an incorrect icon.  But I thought that had been fixed with more recent versions of LV.  See this thread for some info.  http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/paint-bucket-displayed/m-p/1878283/highlight/true#M635136

Hmm... they reported that certain actions trigger their issue, and they can fix their cursor by restarting LabVIEW. In my case, though, it's always-on.

 

  1. Start LabVIEW
  2. Create blank project
  3. Create new statechart
  4. Create state
  5. Go straight into action code editor
  6. See wrong cursor
