Hopefully a simple question, but I can't find an on-line answer. How do I change my cursor back to an arrow pointer? In Designer, my cursor has changed from an arrow pointer to a diamond shape of a dot surrounded by 4 triangles forming a rotated square. * It is only happening in one of my several open workflows. * This new shapes is only on the Designer's canvas, it changes back to the regular pointer on the menu, other parts of the screen and other pc programs. * The new shape allows me to move the canvas around, but does not allow me to pick an object. * I am running version 11.06. I assume I selected something by mistake, so how do I deselect this "feature"? Thanks, Robert

How do I change my cursor back to an arrow pointer?

In Designer, my cursor has changed from an arrow pointer to a diamond shape of a dot surrounded by 4 triangles forming a rotated square.

It is only happening in one of my several open workflows.
This new shapes is only on the Designer's canvas, it changes back to the regular pointer on the menu, other parts of the screen and other pc programs.
The new shape allows me to move the canvas around, but does not allow me to pick an object.
I am running version 11.06.

I assume I selected something by mistake, so how do I deselect this "feature"?

Thanks,

Sounds like someone may have put a massive Comment box into the workflow.

Somewhere out there, there is a poor soul who is stuck in the abyss with the stupid cursor problem. We desperately need this answered, as I too am on the edge of oblivion.

Below is the curse(r) that may drive us to madness...

That's the shape I get when I click on the scroll wheel of my mouse. It allows you to enter into a "free drag" mode (for lack of a better term). If you click your scroll wheel again you might be able to get out of it.
