Bug Description

I can't draw or edit shapes anymore. (both for new files and for existing files)

 I can select menu items and tools, but when I try to edit a shape, pan, zoom on the view (everything that should happen in the drawing window and should be triggerd by mouse buttons) has no effect on Inkscape.
I tried to uninstall it and to install previous versions, and I get the same result.
I checked my mouse with some other software, everyting is ok.
I've been using Inkscape for months , everything was OK, but this morning I have this strange behaviour. (maybe due to a windows update? )

[ I'm under Windows 7,32 bits and I use the Inkscape-0.48.1-2.exe installer ( I also tried with previous packages=> same issue) ]

Best regards.

Do you use an extended input device (tablet) with your mouse?

Yes! I think the pen was near the tablet and prevented buttons to
act.
Everything seems to be ok now!

Thanks a lot for your quick
reply!!

Do you want me to investigate further
and to try something for you?

Best regards.
