Title: LTspice XVII disabling waveform "drag" with Ctrl depressed?
Post by: KhronX on March 21, 2018, 12:07:42 pm

I went ahead and installed the latest LTspice ("XVII") last night. For the most part, it looks and feels pretty much as the IV version.

One very irritating "feature" i've stumbled across, though, is that whenever the waveform plot window is highlighted, my mouse cursor is within its confines and i press down Ctrl (in preparation to click on the name of a waveform to have it measured), it drags the plots along  |O

Then after i notice that, i have to let go of Ctrl and wait for the waveforms to get re-drawn, then re-zoom, then place the mouse cursor on the waveform name before pressing Ctrl then clicking on it.  :wtf:  :rant:

The older version doesn't behave like that. Anyone have any idea if and how this can be disabled?  :palm:

After Zoom-to-fit, CTRL-Mouse seems to be live, but if I click on any node name, that seems to then disable ctrl ?

That's a good catch actually, i can confirm that. Still not what i'd call "normal", though.

Quite frankly, I've found the Waveform viewer of LTSpice XVII a huge regression compared to LTSpice IV, without any significant new feature. It's riddled with nasty bugs.

So it's not just me, then...  :o
