I have much the same problem. See my post on Expert. It stands to reason
they should test this better. The WORST thing that an happen in my opinion
is REGRESSION and that is what has happened.
I realize the y can't test all possibilities and maybe my video is unusual
but S3, gimme a break!
I NEED the upgrade for wheel mouse and my video but I guess I will have to
wait and hope they fix it in 7.2.
You may not like windows but this does no happen there!
