mouselook / dragging problem

I use a Logitech Trackman Wheel (thumb-controlled trackball, three buttons plus scroll wheel) with my MacBook. The first couple times I ran Mac CoH the mouse worked fine. This time, any time I drag anything (click and drag on a window, or any time +mouselook is on, such as with the default right mouse button binding) it drag for about a quarter of a second, then the mouse cursor jumps to the top of the screen (and either the window follows or the camera spins into the sky, staring at the ground).

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any idea what might be causing it, or how to fix it?

Try removing any custom drivers or software that came with it. If it's better behaved, then see if there's newer software available.

At the time I had this error, I did not have any special mouse software installed. I have since installed Logitech Control Center... but it didn't make any difference. What's strange to me is how this bug wasn't present at first, and now is. I used the same mouse each time, and haven't run any software updates to change system software in between uses of CoH (though I should probably do that now to see if some driver gets fixed).

I got it partially figured out. The bug shows up if I switch from fullscreen mode to windowed mode before I have logged in to a character. I don't know at what exact point the transition happens, but if I log in to a character all the way (until the initial zone is fully loaded), then switch modes, everything is fine. I can even log out, switch characters, and log back in, all while in windowed mode, and my mouse keeps working properly.

I don't know why this is the case, but if it means I just need to spend a few more seconds in fullscreen mode, it's a workaround I can live with.

...and I was wrong. It wasn't the fullscreen/windowed switch. It was a resolution change while in windowed mode that caused the problem. I have to make sure not to switch resolutions while CoH is running.

I am still having this issue. I am using Wacom tablet with the mouse that is included. I tried using a regular USB mouse and the problem persisted. Is there anyway to resolve this? If you switch resolutions then you have to restart COH, which doesn't make much sense on how that would cause the bug.

If you switch CoH's resolution, you have to restart it. I had CoH in windowed mode, and was switching my Mac's resolution. This somehow confused CoH. If you're not switching your Mac's resolution, or not running in windowed mode, I don't know what's causing this problem for you.
