jmk8811 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've looked to see if a thread has been posted about this already, but did not find one. Please forgive me if I've missed it. Does anyone know how to adjust the mouse response rate in Paint.NET? My optical mouse works fine and dandy everywhere else, but when it enters the Paint.NET window it acts as thought it's crawling through mud. It's not a program lag issue -- actions are performed quickly and smoothly. When I go to move my cursor across the screen (say, to choose a menu option or tool icon), I can drag the physical mouse clean off the desk before the cursor makes it across my screen. The motion is somehow retarded. Can anyone help me clear this up? It's terribly frustrating. Many thanks to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoNdA_mX Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, Paint.NET tends to use a lot of CPU when moving the mouse inside its window, but when you stop moving the mouse the CPU utilization goes back down. It's weird but that's how it is. Could you post your system specs? [HoNdA_mX] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 What are your computer specs? My computer is fairly new so I can't say I observe intense CPU usage. Basically Paint.NET needs to know where your mouse pointer is at any time to update the coordinates displayed in the bottom right corner. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
