Double click bug...or is it me?

[Panda_Guy]

I recently migrated to a new PC at work. I run X6 MU1 (64 bit)in Win 7. My previous box was XP pro. On the new box, when I double click in a numeric field, the digits and decimal point are selected, but if present the minus sign is not.

 

As an example, if adrill depth is -.5 and I want to change it to -.6, and I double click that field and type in -.6, it becomes --.6 which of course is .6! It may seem like a small thing, but that has been my SOP for many years and I am getting too old to have to pay that close of attention to something that routine.

 

I searched through the settings looking for a box to check/uncheck, but came up empty. At first I thought it was a Windows thing, but it only happens in Mastercam. Another programmer with Win 7 has the same issue, but it was his habit to drag to cursor to select.

 

Anybody else out there seen this and found a fix?

No bug, it's a Win7 thing

Thanks, John, but why do I only see it in Mastercam? Other apps, such as Cimco editor, seem to work fine.

By the way, Excel does this in both OS.

 

Does anyone know a fix within Win7 or does this mean I have to start paying attention?

does this mean I have to start paying attention?

 

Bingo!!!

 

NO "fix" that I am aware of......

 

BTW, it does happen in Solidworks as well
