    There's no OS problem with this. Did you take a look and make sure there's not a hair over the lens? That happens with my Magic Mouse all the time.

    Yes, I have Dreamweaver and Photoshop on both computers - one with Tiger, one with Leopard. As I have Leopard on my MacBook Pro I've tried the mouse on that - and it doesn't jump so probably not OS 10.5 after all. The mystery deepens...

    any knowledge would be appreciated.



    Home depot or Lowe's probably sell a 4X4 sheet of perforated, lattice work, steel sheeting. I have seen this used in pairs in a wooden, grooved framework as a semi-privacy screen to delineate work areas instead of cubicles,



    To avoid having to build the wooden frames to hold them, you could hang them from hooks in the ceiling,



    Hopefully the perforations will still permit the shielding to work. It would be more decorative than a solid sheet.

    I don't know if this will help, but I had this problem on my Mac Pro.

    The problem was actually not with the mouse but the fact that I had an external monitor plugged into the computer but the monitor was not on. After I turned on the monitor or unplugged the monitor from the computer would the jerkiness stop.



    I could tell it was the computer because in the flurry screen saver I could see the computer actually hang there and cause breaks in the particle effect.



    Hope that helps.
