The problem, when it occurs, occurs right upon opening Alice on some of the students' (and even my teacher station) Windows devices, when adding the very first object. Once an object is added to the Alice world, we click and drag and there's a delay, nothing
happens, and then the object drags much further than we wanted. Very annoying.</div>

Carlos,
<div>When you are experiencing these problems, have you quit Alice, and then restarted it to see if they persist. In my experience, Alice will sometimes exhibit these issues, if the program has been running for a long , with much manipulation of the scene in
the scene editor. Saving the world and restarting the program also resolved these performance issues.</div>

</div>
<div>I hope this helps…</div>

<div>All the best,</div>

I hope your semesters/school years are off to a great start. I have a few students complaining about a delay they experience when situating objects in Alice 2.5 and Alice 2.6 between the time that they click or make some other movement with their mouse and
when they actually see the effect of that mouse click/movement in their Alice world. I experience a similar delay sometimes using my teacher station and it can be extremely frustrating. Our school desktops are running Windows 11. Does anybody have any suggestions
as to how best to troubleshoot this?</div>
