Thanks for that suggestion. I did that, and with nothing else loaded
GIMP worked okay with the mouse, which it has done before. So I began
loading up applications one at a time. It worked okay with one
application after another loaded, and then I loaded up WordPerfect X5,
which I have to use constantly. Bang! the mouse problem manifested itself.
To some slight degree I can probably leave WordPerfect X5 off for a
while as I work in GIMP, but I need to work with both at once a lot of
the time.
Now I'll note that GIMP 2.8 and WordPerfect X5 had been working together
just fine for years. I have been suspecting all along that some Windows
10 "update" had caused the problem. I think that I might have put
WordPerfect X5 into some compatibility mode at some point after I'd had
some crashes of that software, again after years of no problems. I am
wondering it I should risk crashes by undoing compatibility mode for
WordPerfect X5, if that's even possible, or if I should try some sort of
compatibility fix for GIMP.
Again, thanks.
