Something I have been noticing lately is that when I use Google Street View the cursor gets 'sticky'. By which I mean that if you try and click to rotate the viewpoint it sticks to the little grey zone used to zoom in or move and won't let go so when you release the mouse button you move position. This has been getting increasingly annoying but I had thought the problem was at my end. Google wouldn't have updated one of their flagship pieces of software so that it no longer works would they?
Wrong. Apparently they have. When I eventually found out what the forums were calling this phenomenon i.e. 'sticky cursor', I found that plenty of other people have been having the same problem - and it apparently goes back a long way. To at least 2011 in fact depending on which combination of hardware and browser you use.
However. On this occasion there is a fix, and it is simple. Just click on 'Full Screen' and the problem goes away. Now if the chaps at Google can just figure out why that is maybe they can break that too.
