Problems with Open Live Writer

I’ve been having a problem creating blog posts using the latest version of Open Live Writer, build 0.6.2.0

All seems swimmingly well when I enter text, images can be added with ease…..but then the problem raises it’s head:

I can’t put the cursor where I want it to be around the images.

Typically I’ll insert a couple of images and then try to insert a line above or below one of the images.

I’d do this by clicking the mouse at the point where I want the cursor to be. Normally the cursor would appear and I’d be able to Cr to insert spaces.

Except that it doesn’t do that anymore. The cursor ends up somewhere else in the draft…..certainly nowhere near the place I want it to be.

The mouse is fine – it works well using other software: M$ Office stuff, OpenOffice etc.

I can’t find any reference to this on openlivewriter.org

Anyone else having the same problem….or better still, does anyone have a solution?

  1. I use OLW as well, JJ. Just checked - I have the same version as you and it's working perfectly normally on a quick draft I've just done.
    I'll be doing a posting on Friday and will let you know if I have any problems. Curiously I've had problems posting OLW - it comes up with error messages, but if I keep trying it eventually posts. Haven't used it for a while (mobile postings on TGOC worked fine) but yesterday's posting on the half marathon went without any bother or error message.
    Uninstall > reinstall?
