Comment 2 for bug 1734882

Hi Nick,

the freeze is only within the eeschema window. The system cursor still moves but the eeschema cursor stops at its last position). Therefore I am able to close the window (red cross button at top left), reopen eeschema and continue until next freeze.

My first thought was a problem with the MS win10 mouse driver (I am using a logitech mouse), but the replacement with the latest logitech driver did not help. The failure happens statistically.

Best regards Roland

Is it your system cursor or only the cross-hair that freezes? This
