Hello,

I have a very weird glitch happening in which when I have AutoCAD for Mac open, it creates somewhat of an invisible window of area on other programs in which I am unable to click. When I click somewhere on the screen, AutoCAD will pop up even though I did not click it. If I minimize AutoCAD to my tray, it will still not allow me to click in those certain areas within other programs. For example, let's say I'm in AutoCAD then I switch over to Chrome and try to click a link on a website, I cannot. I have to actually close out of AutoCAD in order to be able to click in that particular area. It's very strange and frustrating that I have to close out of AutoCAD in order to click around in any other software. This has happened since 2018 and I'm now using 2021. Any ideas? 

Thanks!

Hi @jsmithW7WYA 

 

Do you use external monitor by chance?

Have you tried to Reset AutoCAD 2021? If no - try to reset it. And don't migrate settings from 2018 version during Reset.

 

After resetting, check for updates. The latest update for version 2021 was released last week.

Hi, no I do not use an external monitor. I ran the updates and restarted the machine and it appears to not be having the issue now. The issue is inconsistent though and seems to happen when it's been a while since my last restart. Thanks for your help!
