I am XP user (32) and have the same problem now (but i am very sure i did have it a few hours ago only occasionally but i was not able to cause it intentionally). Now i cannot get rid of it. But i cannot see a cursor in document notes as well (but on index cards)

There are some things that i recognized with this problem in connection with this problem:

> Hi there, I’m using Windows XP with a Wacom tablet. But mouse clicks are not accepted. Well, some of them were during the installation process (not all of them). e.g. When I wanted to accept terms I couldn’t hit the “I accept” bullet point I had to find it via tabkey and then select it by pressing space. “Next” button could be hit without problems.

This has changed: Now i am sometimes (seldom) able to select/highlight text with the intuos pen and to set a (invisible) cursor with single left click (but mostly the cursor jumps to the document notes field where i can write then, but with invisible cursor also). But very often i am not, because clicking (left) in the editor effects not the editor but the right column (index card and document notes). It will open the menu to change between document notes and project notes often or seldom the the created:/modiefied: pull down for index cards.
