Problems with Snap To and Focus Enabled with IntelliPoint 1.0 (121548)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
  • Microsoft IntelliPoint software 1.0
This article was previously published under Q121548

SYMPTOMS

Erratic behavior occurs in Windows or Windows for Workgroups when you enable both the Snap-to option (with Return To Previous Position selected) and the Focus option in Microsoft IntelliPoint Tools & Controls.

RESOLUTION

To eliminate these problems, disable one of these options, or deselect the Return To Previous Position option.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Examples of erratic behavior include the following:

  • If a window with a default button and any other window are open simultaneously, problems may occur when you try to switch between the two by moving the mouse pointer over the title bars. Specifically, after moving the pointer to the title bar of the second window and then to the title bar of the window with the default button, any subsequent attempts to return to the title bar of the second window result in the mouse pointer snapping to the default button on the first window.
  • In the previous scenario, if the second window (the window without the default button) is minimized, slightly different behavior results. After moving the pointer to the minimized window, any attempts to go to the title bar of the window with the default button result in the mouse pointer snapping to the minimized second window.
  • If two windows with default buttons are open simultaneously, similar problems may arise when attempting to switch between the two by moving the mouse pointer over the title bars. In this case, after moving between the title bars of the two windows once, any subsequent attempts to do so result in the mouse pointer continuously switching between the two windows.
