Cursor sticking in Premiere

[m90583877]

Hi,

I use a Wacom Intuos Pro and Premiere v13.1 on a Mac and I have the following problem since about a year (so with all the previous Premiere versions as well).

When I navigate with my pen the cursor very often "gets stuck" - when I click on something and move away it keeps thinking that I am pressing down. It happens during anything - navigating between different timelines, doing colour correction etc. It is really annoying so sometimes I have to switch to the mouse which does not have this problem. I have this tablet for two years and the clicking works perfectly fine with all the other software including other Adobe Products like Lightroom and Photoshop, but Premiere is almost impossible to use.

How can I fix it?

Thank you!

I know it's an old post but did you ever found a solution?

I'm having the same issues with Premiere V14.7, especially on the timeline, with timeline tabs getting stuck on the cursor. It's pretty annoying as the timeline sometimes opens in a new window, or the order of the different timelines gets shuffled around.

Likewise!  It has been a persistent issue for some versions and yet no solutions. Creative Clout

Same here. Did anybody ever find a workaround?

I'm afraid we're F'd my friends. It would appear these two companies have no interest in expanding there product line beyoond the still frame world. This one issue scues my shift to Resolve a good 30%... and increasing over time.

I've been having this issue with the standard mouse and trackpad on my Macbook Pro. It's driving me crazy. Anyone found any solutions?

This has just become an issue for me too. Its super annoying and I can't seem to find a fix. Just started happening with the latest update. Using the same Macbook Pro and magic mouse I've used for years. Everything else on the computer works fine except Premiere. Any update Adobe?

I'm also still having this issue... It's ridiculous there isn't a fix for this... Is it only happening with the magic mouse on mac?

[Austin28103045dmo9]

Not just magic mouse, I use a couple different razers and it happens with them.

The problem seems to be a compatibility issue with Windows.

For me, the fix was:

Settings > Mouse > Additional mouse options > And disable the "Enhance pointer precision" checkbox

Apply and it gets solved instantly with Premiere running the entire time (no need to restart it).

[Austin28103045dmo9]

For sure not just a windows issue. Extremely jealous that you have a work around though, not so fortunate on mac... at least as far as I can tell

Also disabled this one too:

"Turn on click lock"

+ one here too. This has been happening all day. I updated to 23.5.0 a couple days ago and same exact issue you describe with switching between timelines and the window getting dragged around and reordering my workspace.

tried all teh above. Does nothing, cursors just sticks on options. pathetic man

Problem is persisting in 2023. Timeline-tabs stick to the cursor when changing between sequences too quickly. It's a super annoying glitch. I use an Logi MX Master 3, experiencing the same issues, so it's not connected to the tablet at all. Disheartening to see the issue has been around for four full years. What's up Adobe?

[CaliPVP]

I am experiencing the same issue. I don't have a Wacom Intuos Pro installed, but I do have an XP-pen tablet. Just using the mouse in Adobe Premiere is sticky.  I've been experiencing this issue for a few years now.

It's January 2024. Still no resolution to this issue, it seems?

I'm using the stock standard Magic Mouse that comes with the iMac.

It happens when you click between sequences. You have to then click twice in inactive space for it to "let go". Otherwise you end up selecting things or dragging tabs all over the place. Oh, the layered frustration!

Any fix for this on the horizon, @ADobe?

[alexthehamlin]

Any updates?? This has been an issue for a while now, and it's driving me crazy.

Same issue for me, Premiere v24.0.3 (Build 2) on a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro. It happens both when I use the built in trackpad and an external Bluetooth mouse. Extremely annoying and frankly very risky. It can cause you to unintentionally select and overwrite files in the timeline just from moving your mouse around, because it's stuck as if you're holding down left click, even when you're not. What's the fix??

[jimmym60098336]

Yeah it’s a joke.

No fix. Have to use mouse unfortunately
