When I use the middle button of my Logi MX mouse it get stuck in drag-pan modus releasing the button not escape exits drag/pan mode. 

I can only close MiroBoard app and reopen.

How do I exit drag/pan mode/

Windows 10 / Miroboard app / Logitech mouse

Hi @Johannes Kingma,

Thanks for reaching out! Just to clarify, is my understanding correct that the board remains in drag or pan mode even when you click your mouse to switch to select mode?

Could you please share a short video demonstrating the issue? This will help us understand what’s happening. Additionally, could you confirm if this issue occurs on other boards as well?

Looking forward to your response so we can help you resolve this!

Hi @KevinAtForzuna,

Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds frustrating to have the drag/pan feature getting stuck like that. I believe you might be experiencing a similar issue to the one discussed in this thread: How to exit drag/pan mode.

To clarify and help you better, could you please let me know what actions you've taken so far to try to fix the issue? For example:

• Have you tried refreshing the app or the tab?
• Did you attempt to exit from the board and then reopen it?

This information will help us troubleshoot more effectively.

I look forward to helping you resolve this!

Hi,  I close and restart the app. It works perfectly for a while then the bug re-occurs.  I haven’t identified the pattern of use that causes the glitch to occur yet.

Regards,

Kev

Hi @KevinAtForzuna,

Thanks for the update!

Could you please try the following troubleshooting steps and share the result with us? 

Click Miro in the top menu and choose Reset application data as shown in the screenshot below:

Resetting the app data on Mac

After that, try to log into the app again and check if the issue is solved.

If resetting does not immediately help proceed to open a finder window > press Command + Shift + G > paste ~/Library/Application Support/RealtimeBoard and delete all app files.

If after these steps and the issue still persists, please let me know.

@Johannes Kingma & @Eca - Just a note that I merged @Johannes Kingma‘s post into this post, i.e., the one you are reading from now.

I had this happen to me today while using Chrome on Windows 11, with a Logitech M650 mouse.

I had just created an image using AI. When the image was still selected, I attempted to left-click to grab and move it, when the stuck-in-pan-mode issue occurred. I very well could have accidentally clicked the mouse middle wheel, but I’m not sure.

I eventually had to press F5 to refresh the browser/reload the board. I have not been able to reproduce the issue since.

Howdy Everyone!

Just reading this post made my blood pressure return to normal. This started happening yesterday for me in the Miro app, Macbook. A “refresh data” in the app did not help - as of 10 minutes ago (04:12 CET).

This this morning it started happening in my Chrome browser - but THANKFULLY a hard-reboot has cleared this problem for now in my browser - and now I find it has also disappeared in my Mac app.

So if this black magic can be believed: a hard-page-reload in the Chrome browser may be needed to fix the behavior in the app.

Hi @Robert Johnson  FWIW I had this bug this morning. Then it went away. Now it’s back. Fortunately I’ve found (this time) doing a page-refresh in the app clears it. Dumbly I thought too late about opening a developer console to look for errors but I’ll try this next time.

@Kenneth Ritley - Please do let us know if you can figure out the steps that recreate it, or capture logs, and I’ll convert your post into a support ticket

Okay.. it just happened to me again. As I opened a board, I immediately tried to right-click and pan (maybe even before the board fully loaded), and I got stuck in pad mode. I opened my dev console and was getting errors, so I saved a log and HAR file and will open a support ticket.

Moderator note: I updated the title from “Can't exit/release the drag/pan mode?”

To: “Board getting stuck in pan mode”

Hi everyone, 

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and insights on this issue.

I’ve received feedback from the team that some supports were able to reproduce the pan mode issue, and I’ve converted your comments into a support ticket to ensure this gets thoroughly investigated. At this time, I haven't found any other official reports, so your input here is invaluable. Hopefully, these tickets will help initiate a broader conversation and confirm whether this is indeed a bug.

We’ll keep you updated on any findings. In the meantime, if anyone else encounters this issue or finds a reliable way to reproduce it, please continue to share your details—it will greatly aid the investigation.

Thanks for your patience.

Latest update as of this morning (Oct 7) is that the product team is investigating the issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue on Linux Debian 12 with Wayland and Sway. My primary browser, Vivaldi (Chromium-based), and Chrome both exhibit page breakage(or even kills the whole instance) when this occurs. Firefox behaves similarly to the original poster's description: the page freezes for a few seconds before resuming, accompanied by a spike in CPU usage.

This problem led me to upgrade my RAM and replace my GPU, thinking it was a hardware issue. 

I primarily encounter this while using miro.com in-browser. A native Linux application for Miro would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I’ve also experimented with Xorg, KDE and Gnome, and experienced the same bug. So this is more of a general problem than just Wayland.

Hi ​@Torgils Vestad,

Thanks for sharing your experience. Based on previous support tickets, this issue was resolved after the team’s investigation. However, since you're still encountering it, I’ve converted your comment into a support ticket so the team can reopen the case and take another look.

You should receive an update from Miro Support soon. Let me know if you need anything else in the meantime!

Ready to present today, loaded up, hit the SLIDES button and now I'm stuck there. All boards are stuck in the horizontal pan mode. Unable to stop, escape, exit, etc to get my boards to return to original format. It is 200 pages long in width now. Any insight?

Hi ​@Benta Kipp

As in the title.  As of this morning, clicking the 3-dots menu option for any item on any board does nothing in the Brave browser.  All worked fine yesterday.  Also, everything works fine in both the Chrome and Edge browsers.  Has there been some kind of update that makes Miro incompatible with Brave?

EDIT:  The problem now occurs in Chrome as well.  So, not working in Brave or Chrome, but still working in Edge.

EDIT #2:  And after about an hour, the situation has fixed itself.  The menus now work correctly in all browsers.

EDIT #3:  And now it’s broken again, just like that.  All the other controls work fine, but the 3-dots drop-down won’t work.
