    Has anyone had an issue with their machine jogging incrementally? It's happening in Lightburn's latest and greatest version. Reason I had to repurchase was they told me I had it on too many computers.

    set incremental jog to .1 inch or whatever. Almost seems like the button is stuck but it's not. It will randomly take off when you click a direction. I clicked -X, and it went positive once. All other times it went in the correct direction, just never stopped. Crashed the machine 4 times today. I used Lightburn for 2 years with no issues like this.

    Maybe a windows update changed your keyboard repeat or delay settings, can check that and try some different settings.

    wireless mouse?
    both of mine have a bug where they do weird things with clicks when the mouse does not move. (Microsoft and Genius branded wirelss mice)
    resulting in exactly what you describe, a single click acts like a *click and hold*
    I have never had a problem with a plain wired usb mouse.

    yes, the problem is the mouse not issuing a 'mouseup' event even though you have released the button, unless the mouse is moving.
    the fix is to spend on a good wireless gaming mouse, or spend much less on a wired mouse.
