This is really starting to piss me off.
Hey,
I noticed it this morning. I've seen two weird things happen in 10.2.5, and I was wondering if it may have to do with my setup, or 10.2.5 on my setup, or did I get a diff copy of 10.2.5 then the rest of you...
Problem A:
In 10.2.5 on my Pismo, when I hold down [control], while my mouse cursor is on top of any window, and I start to move the mouse, the window moves with it. I am not clicking anywhere on the screen, just holding down [control]. I know that in a metal appearance application, you can click anywhere to move it, but this also works in the finder.
Problem B:
When I point my mouse to the bottom or top of any window that requires scrolling (a side scroll bar), the page automatically starts scrolling!!! Again, I'm not clicking anywhere! I have a 3 Button Mouse with Wheel but I'm not even using the wheel. It's not that it thinks its holding down the button. It just automatically scrolls if you position it to the bottom or top of a scrollable window. It doesnt start drawing a box in the finder. Any explanation for the control clicking window moving?!!!! This is so weird! Maybe it's a bug with PowerBook G3 Pismo...My Mouse is a
Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel
If anyone could explain any of this? Is this happening to anyone else too?
At first, I thought it might be Universal Access, but I went through all the options, and couldn't find anything that would be causing the mouse to scroll, or the windows to move with [control] down.
Problem C:
Damn so many problems in 10.2.5!!!!!
This is the third problem im having now.
I tried the restart, and when it restarted, I got this funky mouse icon. I am guessing it had to do something with MightyMouse, because all the different types of cursors are mixed up. The wait cursor has an alias cursor, the I-Beam is a white PC mouse... Thats not all. I lost the dropshadow on my menu bar. My harddrive sometimes spins for a minute with the wait cursor doing nothing. I tried taking a picture of the mouse, but it got kinda cut off. I'll post them in a sec. I booted up from my 10.2 disc, and tried disc utility, and it found some errors, and when I hit repair, it still showed the errors, but said it repaired. (Though verifying once more, still found the errors). I don't want to reformat and reinstall from fresh. There's way too much to backup. The 10.2 disc would not let me just reinstall the OS OVER the current 10.2.5. Do I need to 10.2 update cd to be able to do that? Is there a way to JUST install 10.2 over the current system, and then update back to 10.2.5 with the combo update?

P.S. The mouse is still scrolling, and [control] still moves the windows.
I noticed something else, but I think its a feature. [command] + [brighter screen button]. Does that refresh the screen? What good does that do?
EDIT: Posted the pics...they take too much scrolling on this site, and screw up the layout, so I'll keep them as links.
I read in another forum that someone had somewhat of a same problem not being able to reinstall the OS. Now I remember...my main drive was greyed out in Disk Utility, meaning, it wasn't mounted, and when I ran the 10.2 installation, and reached the "Choose A Drive" selection, my main drive wasn't an option. Can I mount the drive from within Disk Utility when I boot off from the 10.2 disc? Then can I reinstall 10.2 and update to 10.2.5?
Why does it have to be so complicated!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHH
All that writing for nothing????
