I worked it out.

I have 2 PCs on my desk:
an average performance PC for everyday stuff - email, browsing, coding etc
a top of the line Alienware PC (well it was top of the line a year ago) for CC

What was happening on the Alienware PC was I had the mouse double click speed setting to slow.

This ...

I should add I using CC 2.12.4

Hi, the title says it all:

The CC instance I had up that I witnessed the problem in had been up for several days and, amongst other things, I was ...

Many thanks, it is really appreciated...
