usually the buttons on my screen work when clicking on them, but lately they havent been working all the time. If i drag the box to another place on the screen it usually makes it work again, but when i bring the box back to where it usually is the buttons stop working again. The buttons that have been doing this specifically are the play/pause button in itunes, the red yellow and green ones in the finder, and some links in safari. is there any way to fix this? thanks

I'm having the EXACT same problem. It's only in a specific reigon of the screen, where clicking seems to stop working. Further more, a reboot will fix it, but for some reason, it happens again after a while. I still haven't figured out what's causing it

Edit: i also have a 12" powerbook rev a, combo drive, 40 gig, 640mb ram, running 10.3.1

Are any of you guys using the exposé hack that sends your desktop into alittle box? If so, that's what's causing it, you need to switch back to the default, if you infact are using that "hack."
