My cursor has been making me crazy recently. Well, OK, more so than I already am.
It changes its mode on its own or it stays the way it was when it shouldn't
It has 3 forms:
The arrow shape for clicking-on buttons.
The vertical line used for highlighting text or marking a point at which to insert text.
And the lil' swirly thing you see when you click & drag.
The cursor will suddenly change from the arrow to the swirly on its own. Or if I highlight text it stays in the vertical line shape after I paste the text when it should revert to an arrow.
No matter which form it's in I can still click-on links but it's just annoying.
The light on the bottom of my mouse is green, not red like it would be with low batteries, & my laptop shows the mouse batteries at 71%. So that's not the trouble.
Have any idea as to what's going on?
