Just one question about the wheel mouse patch. I used this patch with blackbox 0.61.1 and a logitech usb mouse. Blackbox would crash on me every once in a while when I switched workspaces with the wheel mouse. One user said that it was a problem with that patch and usb mice. Was that fixed in this patch? Thank you.
