Strange error in report designer
I have a report that I am in the middle of designing containing around 16 memos in a master band and little else at the moment.
I had it zoomed in to 300% so the memos were a reasonable size on the screen.
Suddenly I was unable to select any memo to move it or change any of its properties.
Instead, moving the mouse over any memo immediately displayed the little dropdown list in the top right hand corner and only allowed me to chose a data field for that memo. In fact it would often choose one for me - changing the text that was already in the memo!
Also the upside down triangle in the drop down box had changed shape and now looks more like a heart than a triangle.
I restarted my machine but it is still happening.
I suspect a stuck keyboard key or something so when I move the mouse I am actually doing a ctrl-move or alt-move combination
Are there any key combinations like this that fast report responds to? It might help me narrow down the problem.

and what am I checking for?
I have the repport design page on the screen. Is it there somewhere?
