Re: Mouse/keyboard problem

[James Dunn <james@4thharmonic.com>]

I think this is the same as my problem. I've been watching this weird 
behaviour, and it seems the mouse/cursor sometimes gets stuck in a 
particular dialog or area of a window, and doesn't follow me when I go 
to a new window or program, etc. Going back to the previous window and 
right-clicking in the right place (such as OK button dialogs, or text 
entry forms on webpages, etc) seems to free it up.
Does anyone know anything about this?
