Cursor loses selected tool

Cursor loses selected tool

SketchUp Pro 2022 on a 2021 iMac running current version of Monterey:

It happens randomly that my cursor will lose the ability to hold the icon of the tool I’m using. It will flash as the tool for split-second then revert to a standard arrow. See attached screen recording. You might think quitting and restarting SketchUp would solve it, but no, I’ve got to shut down and restart the whole machine to get my cursor icons back. I’ve searched past forum posts and found a similar problem back in ’15-’16, but no real solutions. Any ideas?

What other apps are running? Spotify used to do that with every change of song on my machine…

Hmm… interesting. I’m sometimes running Spotify at the same time as SketchUp, but I haven’t noticed my problem being be related to that; definitely not affected by the song changing. I will keep a closer eye on whether there is a connection though.

Thanks for the reply!

Im getting this with SU 2024 and MacOS 14.6.1
Any fixes ?

Worked ok when I first installed 2024 (about a week ago), but not now. Tool icon changes momentarily but then goes to standard arrow pointer…tool action still in effect.

And Spotify not running…

hello ! did someone find a solution to this problem ?
I’m using the lask sketchup 2024 and my selected tool arrow disappears after one sec for the classic arrow.
Thanks !

Your profile says you are using SketchUp for Schools which is a web based version for school children. Is that the version you are really using? If so, what browser are you using?

No i’m using sketchup pro 2024.
sorry for the mistake.
But i found the solution.
I closed a bunch of apps that were open on my computer and then it worked fine !
Thanks :wink:
