When clicking on a node it doesn't select it but the network graph jumps

[Gilbert]

Dear Prof. Chen,

I am on a Mac and new to CiteSpace. The version I am running is 5.7.2.

After loading the Terrorist example data, the layout of the network shows correctly. However, as soon as I click anywhere on the screen or on a node in the graph, the whole graph jumps to the top right of the screen and is then only partly visible. Clicking and dragging a node is not working, but sometimes it does drag a node but not the one that I have clicked on, but some other one further away from the point where I clicked. What could cause this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Bear in mind the following :-)
1. clicking on a node will give you more details, depending on left click or right click.
2. cliking anywhere away from a node can/should be used to drag the entire graph. Drag and release the mouse button, for example, to move the entire graph to the lower right. This is not a precise action and the graph may not precisely end up at a position you want, so be aware.
3. you may use the sliders at the bottom and the right of the canvas to shift the graph left/right and up/down
4. once you click on a node, CiteSpace will remember that even when you release the button. If you want to change it to another node, you should click on the original node again and release it.
This may not be very intuitive. I wish I have more time to polish these later on. If you have more questions, plesae let me know.
