I used to end path/wire by just double clicking anywhere, now i need to double click at the center of the path to end it. if i want to end a path where the mouse isn't in the center, i have to hit enter/return key. single left click = mouseAddPt() enter/return key = mouseApplyorFinishPoint() could you help me get this function back, what i want is end a path where i just double click anywhere and end it. Thanks in advance.

     Hi Imaneet,

    when you enable the "activate window automatically" in your linux setup, that means the window is activated automatically when your mouse hovers over it, then you will have this problem in virtuoso layout as you have described above.

    if you disable this linux funtionality then you will be able to use double click to apply/finish virtuoso layout command without any problem.

    If you really wish to work with activate window enabled. I think there is a work around here, I was told long ago that you only need to disable/enable one setup environment variable (not sure whether it is shell or tool variable). Sorry I also forgot the variable name but I think it has something to do with the word "ACCELERATOR". maybe Andrew have some idea.
