Filezilla Freezing when selecting files

#1 Post by ferrdoggsmd » 2018-09-02 20:29

When I am inside of the FileZilla program and I am selecting files to drag and drop from my pc............I can select all files that fit on that section of the screen, but when I select and drag down to select files off of the screen it locks up and does a random beep sound. It stays frozen and will only beep when I try to move the mouse.

I have used FileZilla for approx 10 years now with no problems, this has been an issue for quite a few months now. I have over 3k files that I drag and drop fairly often, so it's getting a little frustrating doing one screen at a time.

Windows 10 Home 64 bit operating system

Any help is appreciated

Which version of Windows 10 are you using?

Where are you trying to drag to? Where are you dragging over in the process?

I select my folder in my "Local site" section of filezilla and the 3k+ file names appear in the section directly below that.
Labeled "Filename Filesize Filetype Last Modified"

Maybe "dragging" isn't the correct word to use. I am not getting to the part where I can actually drag them over to the remote site. I just select the files by clicking in the blank space and select/highlighting each file, just as you would if you were selecting them in windows explorer.
If I just select the files that are in the current view it is fine, I can drag and drop to the remote site section, but as soon as I try to select all of the files.....once I select and drag/scroll down past the current view it freezes up. So, basically once my mouse pointer hits the gray box that says number of files, directories and total size, it wants to freeze up.

There are rare occasions, where it let's me select them all.

I have installed each new update, hoping this would fix the problem, but nothing has changed.

Cannot reproduce.

Are you using any third-party programs that change scroll behavior or otherwise change mouse functionality?

No, nothing special. Like I said, I've been using FIleZilla for approx 10 years, and doing this exact drag and drop process with no issues.
This pc is fairly new, and I can't recall whether it started doing this at initial use or not.
