I'm having a problem turning off the Intellipoint magnifier under certain circumstances.
I'm using an MS wireless 5000 mouse and keyboard under Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. The Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center version is 2.2.173.0, though the problem existed under a previous version. Computer is a newer desktop with an i5 processor and 8GB of memory.
The magnifier always turns on when I press the mouse button programmed to do so, but pressing the button again will not always turn it off. It will turn it off if the button press is sent when MS code (desktop, Windows Explorer, etc.) has the focus, or when certain non-MS programs have it. When other non-MS programs have the focus, the second press does nothing; to turn magnification off, I have to move the focus to the desktop or to a "cooperative" program and do the second press there.
Some of the programs that cooperate are Firefox, Imgburn, Calibre, Chrome, Total Recorder, and Sumatra PDF Reader. Some that don't are Photoshop, Thunderbird, JRiver, Puran Defragger, CCleaner, and dbPoweramp.
It almost seems like these second presses are being captured and processed as no-ops by the uncooperative programs, even though the initial presses are not.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a solution?
