Anyone else have an issue with the mouse "floating" in the legacy after being on the SA client? I have only switched to the legacy client twice since Open Beta and both times the mouse in the legacy client "floats".

It acts almost as if the "run mouse in separate thread" option is not checked, even tho it is, if that explains it any better.

Yes, I have had this same feeling for several months now, ever since beginning to use the SA client or possibly going back to when the location of the classic client character folders was changed. It sometimes takes completely exiting the 2d client at least once with the "run mouse in a separate thread" option checked to make it feel once again ast if the mouse has its normal responsiveness in the 2d client. And if that option comes unchecked, it sometimes takes checking 4-5 characters on various accounts and fixing each one and completely exiting UO before it STAYS checked. It feels as if there is a "universal setting" that is overriding character-specific settings, but I don't know where it is or how to fix it.

Well I did not have any issues with it until SA open beta, so I was wondering how that happened.

Well, I found a few threads discussing it and maybe some hints about what's going on:

Found one Q&A in the Knowledgebase about the default desktop:

http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=825.

Another Q&A about the uo.cfg file but it doesn't mention the "newbie desktop" issue"

http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=276.

And posts about general weirdness involving the default desktop and/or uo.cfg file:

I guess we will have to poke around and experiment and see if anything fixes this recurring problem. All I know is it's annoying as can be and just when you think you're free of it, it pops up again.
