Which version of the game are you using? Which platform are you running on? (I assume Windows?)

I have had a similar problem, and if I went into the game and set it to windowing, rather than fullscreen, then quit and loaded the map editor it would work.

Yeah...I think this is best solved by making the editor come up in windowed mode, since there seem to be problems with full screen mode in Windows on some systems.

After all, I think it is appropriate for the editor to run in windowed mode. Unlike the game itself, I can't imagine many people who'd want it fullscreen.
