Unexpected mouse behavior occurs in the editor when you run SAS Studio 3.6 with Google Chrome version 55.0.2883.87 and later.

Here are two examples of this behavior:

• Simply positioning the mouse pointer over code causes the code to be selected or deselected.  This tends to occur after you have pressed Ctrl-A to select all of the code.
• Double-clicking a word fails to select it.

To circumvent this problem, use another browser or another version of Chrome.

Note: Be aware that Chrome updates its versions automatically unless you have turned off the automatic updates.
