I keep getting a really annoying context menu when using real time pan via the mouse wheel.

I often have to use a crossing polygon to to stretch and move large items on crowded drawings and this is interfering with that ability. How do I get rid of this thing?

Is it panning and the menu is coming up or have you lost the ability to pan?

Check the MBUTTONPAN variable value.

I can still pan most of the time but when the context menu comes up and I click outside of it to get rid of it then objects that I am moving are thrown off the page outside of the drawing limits. If I hit escape then the crossing disappears and my selection is cancelled.

I changed that setting and now I get a different context menu. This problem has only been occurring for a few weeks now. I don't know if I changed a setting accidentally of if Acad updated something.

MBUTTONPAN should be set to 1. I get the snap menu when it is set to 0. I couldn't find a setting for a middle button menu.

Are you using a mouse driver that lets you customize the buttons?

These are the options for the wheel.

Those are the options for the pointer.

Sorry about that. Here is the wheel

I wonder if the tilt wheel is the culprit. My mouse doesn't have that capability so I can't test. You will have to figure that out yourself.
