    Clicking on Skill Checks D&D5e

    I have one player who has consistently had problems clicking on any skill checks or saves on his character sheet. I have no problems from my end ... nor is anyone else in our group experiencing this problem. He has about an 80 % fail rate. He has tried replacing the mouse. Same outcome. We have tried finding a sweet spot without ant luck. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    No idea. Could you ask the player to do a short little video showing the issue?

    Obvious I know but he is clicking on the 'Total' column and only once the pointer has changed to a hand icon?
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    As a work-around, the player could try dragging the skill roll to a hotbar slot. You can tell you have te roll when the dice attach to the mouse for dragging.

    Hope this helps.

    My group has had periodic problems with clicking various roll boxes. We found that the most reliable solution is to drag the box (skill total in this case) into the chat window to make a roll rather than click or double click the box. It seems to provide us with consistent rolling without having to worry about accidentally double rolling or not rolling at all, etc.

    The usual functionality is to single click a button and double click a rollable box (usually indicated with a small dice icon in the corner).

    You could also try adjust the mouse sensitivity and the double click speed. It might be that he's moving the mouse a tiny bit in between clicks and therefore it's registering as two single clicks rather than one double click.

    Also, some mouse driver you can assign the 4th or 5th mouse button as a double left click. Might make it easier.
