A longshot that I think you would have noticed in other places, but check to make sure you do not have the "Hover" feature enabled in your mouse settings. This would have the effect of having a larger window that contained the mouse pointer automatically gaining focus over what should be the active window. Neat when it works correctly, but it can be equally frustrating. *Control Panel> Ease of Access> Change How Your Mouse Works* scroll down, UNcheck box/"Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse/" > /From:/"Arthur Dirks" <adirks@dirksdesigns.com <mailto:adirks@dirksdesigns.com>> > /Subject:/[RMagic] Arthur Dirks > /Date:/Mon, 7 Jan 2013 21:50:54 -0500 > > > I may have posted on this before, but I'm still hoping to solve my issue.
