Mac OS X 10.2.x Disables Modifier Keys?

Posted by pudge on Thursday March 6, 2003 @12:23AM from the works-for-me dept.

drunkToaster writes " Adobe's support pages note that Mac OS X 10.2.x fails to re-enable modifier keys after an authentication session. The keys are disabled during the user/password dance as a security measure. Adobe explains a workaround for the problem which drastically effects many of its applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc)." This makes no sense to me; I authenticate to various servers etc. all day long, and never have problems with modifier keys. The Adobe explanation seems wholly inadequate.

Yeah, we don't need mondifier keys, we have mice with more than 1 button.

2 button mice can produce 3 different combinations without any modifier keys, 3 button mice can do 7 combinations, yes the scroll wheel is a button, and most computers shipping today seem to have a scroll wheel, useful for when FreeBSD too, as a third button, and a scroll wheel.

But 1 button is enough for Mac people.
