[iBook] Trackpad/cursor problems w/ Safari (OT?)

[Matthew Faulds]

Dave

I haven't seen the problems you describe but I have moved to Firefox. It's 
faster than Safari and works with all the sites I've been to so far. It 
really annoyed me that I had to use the debug menu to use internet banking 
with Safari... I changed the appearance to be more similar to Safari using 
the tips at 
http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/596/safari-style-tabs-for-firefox-os-x 
and other places. I love that you can adblock very easily with an extension.

On the subject of trackpads, has anyone else tried Sidetrack? It's a 
trackpad driver for iBooks and Powerbooks that lets you assign tap-corners 
for expose and edges for scrolling. It's very cool indeed and the kind of 
thing Apple should consider including as standard. PC laptops seem to have 
similar drivers built in. (http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/sidetrack/)

Sorry, not very helpful am I?

Matt

This might be off topic, but when I put the cursor over a button in Safari, 
the button doesn't always work. I have to hit a modifier key (or I can 
actually drag the window a little to left) and then I can click on the 
button. This problem happens with both my and my daughter's iBooks.

This problem doesn't seem to happen with Firefox, to which I've just 
switched. I'm come back to Safari if I could make it work properly.

Has anyone else had this problem, and/or know what I can do about it?

Thanks,

Dave
