Problem with pointy finger > lassoo when dragging pitch

[MiguelH]

Hello,

I use DP8, and used to have no trouble correcting pitch by dragging selected notes within a soundbite until my hard drive crashed one day. On restoration I found that the pointy finger icon would often change to the lassoo icon as soon as I attempted to drag the cursor beyond the selection.

It will still work like it's supposed to, but often I have to repeat the action five or six times until it behaves properly.

Is there something in Preferences I should change perhaps?

I'd be most grateful for any assistance!

I use the +- at the bottom and side to make the field large as possible.

Many thanks, so do I.

But that isn't the problem, alas!
