Can't select the rotation hoops

Same here. I tried on a MacBook Pro as well as on an iMAC both on BigSur.

 

I just downgraded to version 4.7.1 and all seams top be fine again. 

UNTIL I installed the OctoPrint Plugin. Since then the problem comes back. 

 

from the behaviour point of view, it looks like selecting something via mouse click has an issue.

    I'm also unable to select rotation hoops in Cura 4.8.0 on MacOS 11.2.3 (M1). I also have the Octoprint Plugin installed.

     

    Is there any way of working around thos, e.g. by entering the rotation angle just like you can enter the move distance?

    Same issue - cannot rotate or use the "Select Face to align to plate" button. It worked for a little, with jiggling the mouse, but now it no longer works.

     

    Mac mini (M1, 2020)

    Big Sur 11.6

    Cura 4.11.0

     

    Hoping that a fix is in the works, it's a real issue to loose hours of time for a simple rotate.

    Was there ever a resolution to this issue?  I'm on Cura 4.13 and had no issues last night using my laptop, mouse and laptop screen.  Today at work, I cannot select the model with the Left click, and none of the handles for rotation, movement, etc are selectable via mouse.  Searching for this issue lead me here.

     

    However, when I dragged Cura off one of my external screens (third monitor on the left) to the laptop screen (first monitor on the right), all selections and the mouse button were working as expected. 

     

    Seems to me, it only affected me when on my external monitors.  Perhaps cura has a hard time determining where the mouse is when it's not on the primary monitor.

    In the General preferences, there's a checkbox that says "Restore window position on start". Uncheck that.

    If that response was to me, thank you... that definitely stopped Cura from opening on external monitors regardless of wherein was closed but it didn't change the behavior that, when on an external monitor, the model and control handles for rotation, drag, scale etc are not clickable.  Clicking on the model in the "Object List" is the only way to select the model and none of the handles are draggable.  

    All those issues go away when on the laptop (primary) screen.  I understand that I can just use this on my laptop, which is what I'm doing, but it seems like a bug that it doesnt work on external monitors.

    For some configurations I have heard it does.

    Can you try resizing the window after moving it to the secondary display?

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
