Magic wand appears, but doesn't work

[Richard Morrison]

I have recently started getting weird behavior with the Magic Wand. If I press the space bar, the Magic Wand icon appears, but clicking on, or within a fill edge or polyline, say, doesn't produce any effect at all. If I choose the Magic Wand from the Control Box, though, it works as expected. I don't have any other programs running in the background that would affect this, to my knowledge. Any ideas?

I don't have a solution, but here is a thread with the same issue, different OS: My magnet stopped working.

Thanks, David. But in this case, misery does NOT love company! I might add that Desktop computer with Win8 works fine. The offender is a laptop with Win7 (64-bit).

Sorry to step on your thread but since your issue is also Magic Wand related, I've recently switched from a wired keyboard to wireless on my Mac Pro. Magic wand with space bar now does not work. I've looked all over keyboard shortcut settings and can't even find a setting for that. I've been on ArchiCAD for years and feel a bit dim witted for not finding a fix on this...ideas?

'Magic Wand Settings' under 'Options'?
