Problem when setting rotation point in Solidworks

Post by AON »

Hello!
I recently started using a SpaceNavigator with Solidworks 2014 Premium x64 SP5. So far I love it but there is a slight annoyance.
Whenever I set a new rotation point with ctrl+MMB I am able to click right through menus such as DisplayManager and FeatureManager.
I am constantly drag and dropping appearances from DisplayManager onto my components, but if I've recently set a rotation point the click is being ignored in the menu and instead read as being done in the 3D space beneath it. That means that when I am attempting to drag and drop I might accidentally click a component, and if it isn't fully defined it will be unintentionally moved in 3D space.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

3DxWare 10 version: 10.2.4
3DxWinCore version 17.2.4.11366
Devices: SpaceNavigator (firmware v. 4.35)

Thanks in advance.
