Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try! Cheers Dietmar

Hey there, thanks for your reply. Here are some answers: 1) operating system: Windows XP 2) service pack: SP 2, no pre-release service packs 3) paint.net: Release 3.22 Well, I tried some more tests and noticed that it's some kind of mouse sensitiveness. I can't drag & drop an item sized 25x25 px because the mouse pointer doesn't switch to an arrow. If the item is 35x35 px the mouse pointer switches from a hand into an arrow only when positioning the mouse exactly in the middle of that object. Didn't notice that behaviour earlier :-(

Hi there, I'm running into trouble with editing pictures. I need to copy some graphical elements and paste them to other regions in that picture. Whenever I do the following: 1. open picture 2. select an area and mark it ("Rectangle Select") 3. copy into clipboard (Ctrl-C) 4. copy from clipboard into drawing (Ctrl-V) 5. try to move the copied item via mouse drag & drop then in the 5th step I can only use the mouse to "scale pixels" with the selected items. I'm only able to move the copied item by using the cursor keys. This happened the first time two weeks ago and since then I'm not able to drag & drop a copied rectangle to another place inside that drawing. Any idea? Best Dietmar
