losing input control

Question

losing input control

Hi

Just started having this problem which starts out by the mouse (magic) sticks to an object and won't let go. At that point the mouse is useless and my keyboard loses some control - I can't quit applications, but I can "force quit" everything. I cannot choose shutdown or restart and have to hit the power button and restart.

In a related incient a few days ago, I lost any keyboard input, even after restarting a couple of times. It eventually returned after 4 or 5 attempts. I'm using Bluetooth Magic Mouse and I also have a bluetooth keyboard which wasn't present at the time.

Any ideas?

thanks

I have turned off all functionality in my trackpad in the hope that it is part of the problem, and so far I have not had a reoccurrence. I'll keep you posted.

HI it's me again!

Well after a year of no problems with the mouse it has suddenly reoccurred again. Same Magic Mouse and configuration as before and this time, I do not have left click control. I think I have temporarily worked around it by designating my right click as a left click and then using control left click to open up the options menu. Still I would like to know what't going on... Anyone?
