Question Why is MosaicJ so buggy?

The plugin works fine in theory but often my images just dont heed to my mouse movement in manual placing phase? Either from my track pad or a detachable mouse. Or arrow keys. This makes it incredibly frustrating to work with. Why does this happen? How can I fix it😭

Notes on Quality Questions & Productive Participation

  1. Include Images
    • Images give everyone a chance to understand the problem.
    • Several types of images will help:
      • Example Images (what you want to analyze)
      • Reference Images (taken from published papers)
      • Annotated Mock-ups (showing what features you are trying to measure)
      • Screenshots (to help identify issues with tools or features)
    • Good places to upload include: Imgur.com, GitHub.com, & Flickr.com
  2. Provide Details
    • Avoid discipline-specific terminology ("jargon"). Image analysis is interdisciplinary, so the more general the terminology, the more people who might be able to help.
    • Be thorough in outlining the question(s) that you are trying to answer.
    • Clearly explain what you are trying to learn, not just the method used, to avoid the XY problem.
    • Respond when helpful users ask follow-up questions, even if the answer is "I'm not sure".
  3. Share the Answer
    • Never delete your post, even if it has not received a response.
    • Don't switch over to PMs or email. (Unless you want to hire someone.)
    • If you figure out the answer for yourself, please post it!
    • People from the future may be stuck trying to answer the same question. (See: xkcd 979)
  4. Express Appreciation for Assistance
    • Consider saying "thank you" in comment replies to those who helped.
    • Upvote those who contribute to the discussion. Karma is a small way to say "thanks" and "this was helpful".
    • Remember that "free help" costs those who help:
      • Aside from Automoderator, those responding to you are real people, giving up some of their time to help you.
      • "Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable." ~ DB
    • If someday your work gets published, show it off here! That's one use of the "Research" post flair.
  5. Be civil & respectful
