Problem

Symptoms: In tables the mouse is extremely jumpy and erratic. This happens no matter what the customer is doing, but it is especially noticeable when trying to block text. The customer has a Microsoft bus mouse on this computer. Solutions: Development is aware of the problem reported. However, they explained that, "When a user crosses the border of a tracking region, the mouse pointer moves to the new region. This 'erratic' movement cannot be avoided."

The difficulty the user is experiencing is actually caused when she crosses the tracking regions in the table. By changing the sensitivity of the mouse, the customer is able to block without experiencing so much difficulty. Changing the sensitivity is usually done with parameters on the mouse command line (e.g., MOUSE XX.) Such information is in the XMouse Manual or documentation accompanying the mouse. However, adjusting the Acceleration Factor in WP also helps control how sensitive the mouse is. More information on changing the Acceleration Factor is in the WP Manual.
