I use a MacBook Pro for work and use Microsoft Visio for documentation - since there isn't a native application available, I use Visio through either Google Chrome or Safari.
Lately I've noticed that whenever I right click on an object in Visio, it brings up the grey selection box that typically comes up whenever you're trying to select multiple objects.
But, I'm just trying to click on a line and change it from solid to dotted.
If you pan the mouse toward the context menu that pops up after right clicking on an object, the object that you've selected will be deselected - this seems to happen when the mouse hovers over the canvas.
This makes it almost impossible to use the context menu because whatever you've selected will automatically be deselected once you try to make changes to it (e.g. if you're trying to change a solid line to a dotted line).
But, sometimes you can get to the context menu without having your mouse hover over the canvas, and this prevents the object from being deselected...
It took me nearly 30 minutes to select this edge and change it from solid to dotted - all other attempts have failed, and I don't know much about Visio internals.
Does anyone know what the issue might be?
I've tried:
- Adjusting my mouse's tracking, scrolling, and double-click speeds
- Switching web browsers (i.e. Google Chrome and Safari)
