Reference conversation in this thread: Speed of Cursor Clicks on graph
The cursor button pad for changing the position of the cursor is overly sensitive to the duration of the click in how far to move the cursor. A normal button click sometimes move the cursor one tick like you'd expect. Sometimes it jumps several positions. It requires an exceptionally quick click to keep it from jumping to far. The button pad is designed so that if you hold down the button, it moves continuously. But what is a normal single click gets interpreted as a button hold.
There needs to be more of a delay between when a button goes down to when it gets intepreted as a hold before repeating the cursor. Some usability testing may be needed, but perhaps a delay of 1/2 to 1 second. I believe Windows has a setting that determines when a double click is treated a double click or two single clicks, that timing might apply here.
If you are uncertain what I am talking about, create a graph with some data. Make the cursor palette visible and add a cursor. Try to click the button left or right to make it move just a single tick.
One more thing to improve. When doing this while the VI is not running and is in edit mode, sometimes a button click on the pad winds up distortingn the diamond shaped button rather than being interpreted as a click.
