 Frequently Asked Questions: Desktop Ruler
Q: How do I turn "Stick to Mouse" option off?
If it seems that the ruler keeps running away from the
mouse so you cannot right-click on it to open the menu or at least select
it to deactivate Stick to Mouse option with a hotkey (Ctrl+S), try the
following:
If the ruler is in the horizontal position, try moving
the mouse to the top or the bottom of the screen, depending whether the
ruler is stuck below or above the mouse pointer. Analogous, if the ruler
is in the vertical position, try moving the mouse to the left or the right
edge of the screen, depending whether the ruler is stuck left or right
from the mouse pointer.
Once you drag it to the correct edge of the screen, you
will find out that the ruler stays within the screen and mouse pointer
finally gets above the ruler, regardless the status of Bound to Screen
option*.
In case you need to reach objects next to the screen
edge, below the ruler, just left-click it and it will stick to the other
side of the mouse pointer.
If you still experience problems, make sure that Hints
option in Show Information submenu is turned on.
* This is done intentionally - otherwise it would
get really hard to reach the menu again (i.e. Alt+Tab until the ruler is
in focus and then Ctrl+S to "unstick" it from the mouse pointer)... |
