Applies To

Symptoms

Assume that you are designing a maintenance plan in Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Management Studio (SSMS 2014). Occasionally, when you try to move or resize a task, the position of the mouse pointer unexpectedly moves to the upper-left corner of the designer surface. Additionally, the screen view may zoom all the way out, decreasing the task size to the smallest possible. Either symptom may require you to scroll to the right side and down to see the task.

Resolution

The issue was first fixed in the following cumulative update of SQL Server.

Cumulative Update 4 for SQL Server 2014 /en-us/help/2999197
