Cannot Disable "Program Loops Forever"

Technical Questions
1

Under program->Robot Program, there are two options on the bottom:
“Add before start sequence” and “Program Loops Forever”

Until recently, when I try to disable “Program Loops Forever”, the cursor doesn’t move to that area, as if there’s something preventing me from moving the cursor to that area.

It will allow me to check the “Add before start sequence” box for some reason still.

This is the case for every existing and new program I create.

Is there a security setting that locks this option somewhere that I accidently enabled?

I’m using a UR5e on firmware 5.16.0

never seen behaviour like that. can you post a screenshot and maybe a quick video?

Also new to me. Could your teach pendant have a dead spot where the touch doesn’t work? Have you tested the area without the that screen open?

Also, an update could be helpful. 5.16 is fairly old now. :slight_smile:

Here’s the video:

The mouse cursor is not aligned with your finger, is it possible that your touchscreen is miscalibrated? What happens if you use a pen? I don’t think this has anything to do with this specific check box.

There’s no such thing as calibration of the e-series TP sadly.

Does that screen area work on other interface screens?

I like where @efn’s head is at. Maybe you just have a deadzone on the touch screen there. Try tapping in that spot on other screens and see if it reacts. Otherwise, plug in a USB mouse and try clicking the checkbox. Might help narrow the cause.
