AgeveOSX Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have a strange problem with my USB-mouse. Every 1-2 weeks the right mousebutton stops working. If I switch buttons in system preferences, it works, so the mouse simply turns into a one button mouse. When this happens, some menus also behave a little wierd. The text on top of icons in the Dock is not updated when moving the cursor over them, and the blue selection does not appear when moving the cursor in the apple menu (top of the screen, apple logo etc). After rebooting, it works again, for about 1-2 weeks (my computer is usually on 24/7). I use OS X as my primary OS, and everything works fine, except this annoying problem.

AgeveOSX Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Most of the time, there are several replies within minutes, so I guess I'm the only one with this problem. Or maybe nobody else keeps OS X running for weeks without rebooting. Even if it's a small problem, it's quite annoying. I'm using a cheap wireless keyboard/mouse combination from Logitech by the way (EX 110).

AgeveOSX Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Transmission was the cause. After moving to uTorrent, OSX has been running for about 2 weeks now, and the right mouse button still works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138625-right-mousebutton-stops-working/#findComment-996900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
