When I booted the game up this morning, all of a sudden I discovered that, after a short period of time, I couldn't scroll the screen using my mouse. The problem corrected itself when I entered a menu and went back, it fixed itself...only to un-fix itself later. At first I thought it was whenever I entered a new room, but then I discovered that just waiting around for about ten seconds would work just as well at causing it to start up again. I can still move my guys around, and I can still scroll using the keyboard, but when I move my mouse to the edge of the screen, the cursor doesn't turn into an arrow. It just stays a pointer.
I've never heard of any problem like this. I checked the option menu, but nothing jumped out as a possible fix. And this wasn't happening yesterday, of that I'm certain. Does anyone have an inkling as what the problem may be, and how to fix it?
I don't currently have the fixpack installed (I didn't know it existed until I was pretty far into the game), but, that said, I really hope that the answer isn't "install it", because I really don't want to have to re-start my game file.
If it makes any difference at all, the last place I saved when things were still working normally was the Modron Maze foyer.
Very strange issue: Suddenly can't scroll?

Do you have the widescreen mod installed? If yes can you scroll in the top left part of the screen?

I do not. But in any case, another day has passed, and the problem seems to have...corrected itself?
This is seriously weird. It would still be nice to know what caused it in the first place, but unless it pops up again, I won't be complaining much.
