Map glues to cursor

[Tank50us]

So, we all know how to scroll around the world in the Mission Editor, but twice now, my mission editor gets stuck to that cursor, and I can't do anything other than move the map around. I can't click on anything, even the 'exit editor' button at the top.

 

Has anyone had this issue? If So, how did you fix it?

I've been having a different, yet similar issue in the ME

 

Described the issue and how I solved it in this thread

Happens to me as well, not very orften though but can be very frustrating since i can't save what i've been working on. Have to close Dcs using the task manager to get out of it. For me this only happens on my laptop when i have a mouse connected and reaching over to the keybord to write and accidentally touch the mouse pad on the laptop.

Next time try the solution I just posted:

 

Alt-tab to desktop --> right click the DCS icon in your task bar --> select "close window" --> alt-tab back into DCS (or maybe that even happens automatically) --> A popup prompt will have opened asking you if you're sure to quit, select "No" and you will probably have control back
