Google Maps - cursor captured!

mrochester · 2 Dec 2011 at 16:56

Hi all

Often when I'm using Google Maps and panning around by holding down the LMB and moving around, when I let go of the mouse button, the cursor remains trapped meaning I'm stuck in panning mode until I click somewhere. Has anyone got any idea how to stop this happening and it's really annoying me?

Many thanks

M.

Firefox 7. It's been this way for a long time though, but I've finally decided to find out if there's a fix. I've deliberately stayed clear of FF 8 as it removes some functionality I like in FF7.

I've also experienced that exact problem. Damn annoying!

I'm on 8 and dont have that problem, so maybe its a bug in 7. Try downloading a portable copy of 8 and see if that works.
