Visio2016 cannot drag objects with mouse
Six months ago visio2016 was working fine (don't use it often). Today wanted to update a circuit diagram:
Googled and things I have tried that have had no impact:
I'm running visio2016 under win7 in a VM using virtualbox with a linux host. Also have the same but with a win10 VM - has the same problem. This setup unchanged for several years. Visio is activated. Purchased under the "home user" scheme some years ago when working (I'm now retired). Have office2016 under the same scheme, both working fine, checked - I can drag images around in word2016. Stuck, the problem makes visio virtually unusable? Update - I have 3 nearly identical* thinkpad T430 all with the same win7 VM all running linux as the host. Fired up the other two, visio works as it should. Copied the win7 VM from a working laptop to the problem laptop - no change the copied VM has the same problems with visio as the original. At a loss to explain why? * one has same memory, 16GB, and i7 cpu, the other an i5 and 8GB RAM. Last edited by AndyMH; 12-20-2022 at 12:52 PM. Reason: update |

Have you tried a different mouse on that machine?

Good thought, no. Worth a try, but everything else works with the mouse. It's an MS wireless mouse. Something for tomorrow.

It is hard to diagnose if the mouse works fine on other applications and I don't know enough to help much but to me it sounds like a system issue related to the Virtual Machine setup. This webpage gives a clue that it might be worth checking the version of the mouse controller too if trying a different mouse doesn't solve it.
