[Papyrus-L] Windows XP: Jiggling cursor

[Richard Scheyer]

I've had good success with the full screen mode.  Your suggestions below
seem to have perhaps slowed the rate of jiggling, but not stopped it,
however the jiggling does stop when I follow your suggestion regarding
moving mouse over the menu.

An unrelated question: Is there anyway for Papyrus to use>25 lines (in full
screen or Windowed mode)?

Thanks,
Richard

Here are some additional hints:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This problem will go away if you run Papyrus in full screen mode. You
can switch between full screen and windowed modes by pressing
Alt-Enter.

If you prefer to run in windowed mode, then follow these steps:

  (a) Right-click the PAPYRUS icon, choose Properties.
  (b) In the Misc tab, turn on mouse "Exclusive mode", turn off "Fast
pasting".
  (c) Click OK.

  (1) Launch PAPYRUS.
  (2) Switch to window, via Alt-Enter.
  (3) From the control menu (upper left corner of window, or Alt-Space),
      choose Properties.
  (4) In the Options tab, turn off "QuickEdit Mode" and "Insert Mode".
  (5) Click OK.
  (6) Choose "Save properties for future windows with same title", and click
      OK.
  (7) Quit PAPYRUS.
  (8) Future launches should show better mouse functioning.

One other hint if all else fails: move the mouse so that the mouse
cursor is located over the Papyrus pop-up menu that is flickering.
