This discussion wandered a bit from the original. The problem starts with the placement of the home button next to jog which means it is easy to have the mouse wander when one is jogging while watching an edge finder. Ask me how I know. ;-) I believe the real fix here is to move 'home' someplace where homing is a more deliberate move rather than occasionally being accidentally triggered. I've always thought that the 'natural' location for the jogs was at opposite ends of the axis location. neg on the left and pos on the right. In the same fashion is is possible if one is careless (in a hurry) to exit Tkemc because the edit and exit are close to each other. > <snip> Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
