pan mode gets stuck.

[Anonymous]

Same thing happens to me. Editing single line text at the moment when suddenly I miss click and my pointer because a 'pan' hand and I cannot escape the command or close the drawing without force quitting. Which loses changes. The is no X button in upper left corner that creates the response you anticipate.

Hi Mari,

Have you tried to quit PAN mode by hitting Spacebar instead of pressing "Esc" key?

Next time when the PAN mode will get stuck, try simply hit Spacebar on keyboard, this should return you to current AutoCAD command.

HI @Anonymous,

A workaround might be to hold the middle button down and then release it. Does this quit the PAN command?

This is an old post.. but this problem is presistent with every version of ACAD I used all these years. 
It can sometimes be related to amount of RAM.
The more RAM you have the less it happens. Yet still happens no matter how much RAM I use. 
It seems to me that is related to software response.
