Thanks, Adam. when the time comes I’ll do what’s needed to eventually get it in. In the mean time I’ve been trying to keep this up to date with trunk as often as I can. I’ll grab a spare magic mouse at work and see if I notice anything unusual. I don’t normally use one so my perceptions may be off. I do need to dig into the 3d viewer, though, and I’ll try to do that when I get some spare cycles.
