    I recently encountered this problem that i think is related to expose. The problem occurs when i tile the windows: I get sporadic movement of the highlighted window when i have multiple windows open. When i go and try to select a different window the highlight favors a certain window and keeps attempting to move back towards that one. I get a similar problem when i attempt to change between programs using command tab: the highlight favors the program on the very end and will stay on that making it impossible to switch between programs. I also get trouble with itunes and the scroll bar using cover flow: It will automatically move towards the very end of my music library. When i attempt to move to the left it continues to keep me and the end. Also the page will move slightly up and down randomly and there will be random right clicks here and there as i am typing this. I did a restart and continued to have the same problem. If anyone has any feedback or solutions to this ridiculous problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

    So which Mac are you using and what are you using for your input device?

    Its a MBP and logitech Mx1000. I think the problem is related to the mouse.

    Sounds like the left arrow key is stuck or something or the keyboard is faulty and sending the left arrow keystroke constantly (just shooting in the dark).

    If I hold down the left arrow and use expose and iTunes I get the same kind of behavior you are describing. And I've never heard of this problem before. Don't know.
