Hi dude,
 
On some drawings, do not know when it started but the mouse pointer did change to hourglass cursor (means busy), when clicking on the dropdown menus on the toolbar, like Layer control, Linetype control, as well as Lineweight control, but strange enough that the Color control dropdown menu still displays the arrow cursor.
 
Even I do not think it will have any influence on the drawings, but still it looks quite weird and I do not like it.
 
Could anyone fix it for me?
 
Thanks a lot!

Do you have either the Properties and/or the Layer Properties Manager dialog boxes open?

Are you working off a network or on a standalone system?

Are xrefs involved in any of these drawings?

Have you checked for a bloated scalelist?

Do you use layer filters in any of these drawings?

What are your system specs?

Hey man,

You asked so many questions, are they all the possible cause?
 
What is the most common case then?
 
Thank you!

Hey man, you waited so long to respond I had to do something to pass the time.

Just answer the questions please.
