I have an Ubuntu version (MINT) on my computer. I have a problem since 1 month to modify the time of my annotations. It’s very simple to modify this time on annotation mode with ALT+mouse (green segment appear with arrow and hand). Now it doesn’t work i don’t know why. I had the 6.1 version and I install the 6.3 version to resolve the problem but it doesn’t work too. Help because I use this fonctionnality all day. Thanks
That functionality as such still works (needless maybe, but I decided to check it first).
You mention it stopped working a month ago: can you link it to any specific event around that time? E.g. a change in the structure of the file(s), a change in the system, installed software or hardware?
I don’t suppose there are error/warning messages in the log (View->View Log…) after trying to drag an annotation?

Thanks for your answer. It’s for my colleague so I wonder her for the log. She doesn’t know what it is different between the two status but she thinks nothing has changed…
We have tried to do with a new sound but it is the same thing, alt doesn’t work. Is there another keyboard shortcut to do that in the mode annotation ? She doesn’t have the green segment but only a hand but nothing append, it’s the whole window that moves and shrinks, strange !
I install on my computer the 6.3 version. I have an Ubuntu. Alt works but there no arrow and no hand !
It sounds like on your colleague’s computer there might be a clash with a system setting for moving or resizing the window (on my Ubuntu Alt+F7 and Alt+F8)?
If no hand, pointing finger or double arrow appears at all, I have no idea why that is or how to solve it. In general keyboard shortcuts can be changed in ELAN, but this combination with a mouse gesture is hardcoded. (There are, by the way, keyboard shortcuts to move the left or right boundary to the left or right.)
We will look at our system setting.
If it helps, logs are :

Thanks, there is unfortunately no clue in the log as to why the dragging doesn’t work.
