Select doesn't work with synergy on


Recommended Posts

In some software, such as acrobat or outlook etc, I cannot select text with click-drag. This works if I turn the synergy service off. Server Windows 7 64 bit.

Same here on Windows 8.1 64 bit. In Skype, Outlook and a few other text-based applications. I just restart Synergy and then I can click-drag again.

yep same with win 10 64bit. Can't select with MS word 2013 and can't use zoom on wirecast - Wirecast uses alt and mouse movement to zoom video - wirecast doesn't recognise alt key when synergy is loaded glenn

Just started using Synergy yesterday and discovered this problem today on Windows 7 Pro and could not select in an email from Outlook 2007. I could select in another application OK. I ran Synergy setup on server and changed log level to debug, and hit apply which restarted Synergy. That seemed to fix it. This was all on the server machine. Changed log level back to info and select still worked so it seems like the restart fixed it.

Yep me to! Win7 Prof 64 bit as server With or without client attached, the click-drag to highlight, works sporadically (mostly not) Also noticed mouse is also sporadically very "laggy" at times with the server running. [u]Partial workaround[/u] By clicking at start of text, holding shift and clicking end of text I can get it to select. It's the click-and-drag that is failing For error free operation I have to stop the Synergy Service

Same issue here. Win10 64bits. Main issue for me was felt in Outlook but also other applications. Current version 1.7.6 but the issue may have started earlier (I always thought one of my shift/control keys was stuck, so maybe it has been going on for longer) For me this has been confirmed to happen on the "server" side when there is no synergy client connections. It may happen in other situations also but I cant quite remember. Will try to roll back at some stage.

I have the same issue, almost unusable. Other keys seem to get "stuck" also. Every new version seems get worse and worse...
