Objects is getting stick with the pointer

[defaultoq250sfebsbu]

It happens very fequently that objects in illustrator is sticking with the mouse poiter. I have to press escape to let go of it, but in order to work again on the same file i have to save it and reopen it.
How do i solve that?

What OS are you on? Might you have some mouse cursor enhancement or setting on in your OS?

There are also the OS preference/control panel options for people with disabilities. Without knowing your OS version is difficult to assist further.

Most of the posts I find are on the mac and resolved by updating the OS or creating a new user, which implies a setting was changed from the default and causing this.

I'm using Catalina 10.15.7 at the moment. I might as well add it was doing just perfect before Catalina.

defaultoq,

Maybe you have invoked the cat mode.

Sorry, it was stronger than I, seeing that Mike had already given a better answer.

Hi Jacob, 
Tried what you said and sadly that ain't working.
But thank you for your time.

just posting the solution that worked for me.

i'm on a mac and have the app 'magnet' running. if you tell magnet to ignore illustrator the issue is fixed. click on icon in toolbar and check 'Ignore "Adobe Illustrator". (illustrator must be running in foreground to see this option)
