Seedlings auto-moving

[teynagra]

I am trying to play level 9 and as soon as I capture the first planet that I am able to I lose control of my seedlings. Within 15 seconds of capturing the planet my seedlings will go to the next planet and plant a tree without me telling them to do so. Is this a bug or something with my system?

EDIT: After watching for a few more minutes, it seems like all of the choices my seedlings are making are similar to the ones I made last night when I started this level and had to stop before I got to far. Could this be an attempt at some sort of autosave or something?

I played Level 9 with no trouble.  It sounds as if your game is playing in Demo mode or with a Demo file.

This can happen if you hold ctrl down when you start to play a level, or if it started on its own, without you selecting anything from the main menu. Check to see if your ctrl key is stuck down (or if Windows is controlling it - maybe with sticky keys?).

So I checked and am definately not pressing ctrl when starting the level, and sticky keys is not turned on

Does this happen every time you play level 9?  What about other levels?

I was finally able to finish the level. I've been playing some more, and it happened again on level 19. I think it has something to do with my USB mouse and my trackpad being active at the same time. I normally have my settings so that if I have the USB mouse plugged in the trackpad will become inactive. Its only when I've let both work at the same time that I get this bug. I've had problems with my trackpad before; for example, occasionally when I have it on and I'm browsing the web, my browser will randomly go back a page. Maybe this is a similar thing, though I have no idea why it would happen.
