Bug Description
Version 0.48.4 r9939
Windows 7 Dell i7 8GB memory
I used Revo uninstaller to uninstall Inkscape that did not work in hope of fixing problem. Downloaded again from your website. Installed again to directory A:\inscape. Same problem.
Clicking on any word or menu item works. Clicking on any icon in tool box does not work most of the time. If I double click on the tool it brings up a preference box. After I close this box most of the time I can then select to tool. If I do not do this I can some times select the tool after many tries. When I put the cursor over the item I want to select I sometimes get the little highlight box that surrounds the icon but often I do not. After the icon is highlighted and I select it, moving my pointer over another non ghosted icon will not highlight it. If I switch from Inkscape to another running program and come back it works as it should (for the first click).
It is a real pain to use this program
