Greetings all. Often, after I make an entry in a measure while using the Speedy Entry Tool, if I then exit the measure, then immediately try to re-enter the same bar, it takes me several mouse clicks (7-10?) before the measure stays highlighted. This only started when I updated to my current version of Finale. Sooner or later, a click will put me into the editing mode, so it's not a big deal, but it is a bit of an annoyance. :-) Thanks.

Have you tried rebooting the computer?

Not after a specific occurrence of this problem, but my computer has been rebooted several times since this problem has been happening (over 2 years now, I think).

You might try recreating the preferences file and see if that helps.

What's odd, is that it isn't every single time. I wonder if I'm causing some sort of trigger each time it does happen. Hard to figure out the cause and effect, if there is one.
