Allow Tool

Odd (new) behavior with Allow Tool?
New to RimWorld. I've been playing with a bunch of mods, including Allow Tool, with no problem. Then I added some new mods, and a weird behavior started popping up -- when I move the cursor over certain areas, the Haul Urgently icon pops up and I have to press escape for it to go away.

Here's the kicker. When I went to uninstall all the new mods since the behavior popped up, the icon was still appearing. Now nothing except, obviously, disabling the Allow Tool made it stop. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the Allow tool to see if that world fix it, also tried to restart the game and my computer. No joy.

Any ideas? Here's the behavior and a pic of the mods that I had prior to installing the new batch of mods (in other words, the Allow Tool played nice with all the mods shown as "active," in the screenshot) https://imgur.com/a/w4sUyN6

Also I'm playing on a Mac.


Update: I disabled every single mod except and left the following:

Harmony

Core

HugsLib

Allow Tool

And it is still happening! It's like the mod just all of a sudden broke. Now the game is such a drag to play. I can't be selecting rice one at a time, please help!

I fixed it. After intense googling, I came across this post https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/q5v5rq/what_causes_this_double_cursor_to_appear_the/, which jogged my memory that I had mapped the W (UP, directional key) in the keyboard configuration.

What is weird though, is that as part of my troubleshooting, I had reset all of those keyboard mappings to their default. It seems like somehow it got "stuck" and there was no way to "unstick it" so the only way I found to fix it was to go into the Allow Tool mod options and uncheck "Use Global Hotkeys." After that, I checked to make sure it worked properly, and then reset all the keyboard mapping (again) and unchecked Use Global Hotkeys.

What a journey. I hope this helps someone in the future.

I had a similar thing happen with Keyboard and my auxiliary controller I use as a remote. Had to redo the mapping on the controller, and 5 keys on my keyboard to fix an issue a few game versions back.

It may an issue with "Sticky Keys" and sticky keys on the hardware.
