2013 Layer dropdown menu cursor busy problem

[Incatcrowther]

I just upgraded to 2013 and have noticed that when using the dropdown layer control in the classic layer toolbar the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to the blue spinning circle to indicate its busy.

Why? and is there any way to fix this. You can still turn layers on and off and it reacts normally otherwise but it does make it harder to select the little lightbulb and freeze icons on the left.

Never happened in 2012 always happens in 2013.

Is hardware acceleration in 2013 set the same as you have in 2012? 3DCONFIG command, match them up or set 2013 differently.

Win7? Turn off Aero theme and go with Windows Standard Theme and see if that helps too.

Thanks for the help.

Chaning to Windows 7 basic theme fixed problem. Hardware acceleration on/off didn't seem to affect it.

I have the same problem but with AutoCAD 2014 and Windows 8.  Any suggested fix?

Thanks,
