When I was installing the Magic Mouse, I got an error message that the keyboard was not recognized. ...

manamana,

Okay, when you say "grab a tool" and then the layer changes, right there you want to stop and ask yourself what was the last action you took. Which tool did you grab? In a case like thi ...

One explanation for this behavior would be with a Window or Layer iterator. Unfortunately, this is programming terminology, but one of the most common things that happen is that a routine will run th ...

What's most appealing is the scrolling. I use a Logitech MX Revolution, which is the best mouse I've ever used, but to scroll ...

manamana,

How about doing a couple of simple tests.

Note whether Edit All Layers is on or if it makes a difference with this problem.

Take a PowerCADD drawing that has the problem on your mac ...

Also, let's remember that this problem only exists with machines with the Logitech mouse.

Have you completely checked that all traces of the Logitech software has been removed?

Check the startup ...
