Idiosyncratic mouse behavior in Windows!
I've just installed Inkscape on a Windows XP machine and am having major problems with the mouse. I've tried both the latest distro and the stable one with no difference in behavior.
On clicking the mouse pointer on the Inkscape window, the action takes place far to the right of the window, not under the pointer. Not only does this make creating objects difficult, it make selecting them impossible!
BTW, I've not found how to make the grid finer than the default 5mm one. Can it be done (like in Xfig)?

Oh well, no replies - so as it's unusable, into the bit-bucket Inkscape goes! 8^(

Perhaps it's worth making it clear that at least one person (me) has used several different versions of Inkscape under Windows XP without seeing the problem that you describe, and I'd never heard of such a problem before.

Hi,
I have similar problem (input action on different place than the pointer) on different circunstances:
Input: Mouse or Stylet used on garphic tablet. Configuration : Dual screen on the right side of the main screen (on windows) Consequence: Input happens on the right of the cursor
I haven't measured the distance in pixels between input and cursor, but it seems to have a relation with the dual screen resolution.
Inkscape seems to have trouble with dual screen : disabling it enables me to use the graphic tablet without trouble.
Hope it helps. Tibo

Are you using special input-devices, like a graphic-tablet? Under Linux there's the option file->input devices where you can chose between the modes "disabled", "screen" or "window". You should chose "screen".
Hope that helps, Hagen
