Problem: Windows XP, Mouse snaps to default button upon windows activation
from mouse over, have X-Mouse set ActiveWindowTracking 1.
Note: I don't believe anyone has answered this question - I have looked all
over the internet and windows support site.
I have the Activation follows mouse (X-Mouse) set using TweakUI on Windows XP.
I have Autoraise when activating turned off, but having it on or off does
not effect what is happening.
In the Mouse Properties I have
Snap To / moves pointer to default button in a dialog even when unselected.
The problem I'm having that started in the past month May(05) / 2009 is that
the mouse jumps to the default button when the window becomes active from
mouse over. If I turn off X-Mouse then this problem does not occur since
clicking to select a window does not activate the Snap To feature.
Since everything was working for years, I will assume some Windows patch
broke something (or maybe I installed something else but I don't think so).
Does anyone know of a solution for this recent new bug.
Maybe there is some new Registry Key that is overriding the setting in the
Mouse Properties config.
Using regedit - I see the two places it exists and both are set to off.
My Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
my setting on both is - SnapToDefaultButton REG_SZ 0
Last bit of fun information - I have another Windows XP machine with all the
same SP3 and other patches and it does not have this issue and has X-Mouse
set as well.
