InDesign CS5 and Magic Mouse driving me nuts...

[LoneGoose]

The combination of InDesign and Magic Mouse is driving me crazy. The slightest fingers movement over the Magic Mouse sends InDesign's page view scrolling all over the place!

Any idea how I can disable the Magic Mouse scrolling in InDesign?

I don't want to turn it off in system preferences because I'll loose scrolling functionality in other programs (Safari, Finder etc.)...

Does anyone else have this problem?

Damn thing drives me crazy sometimes too.
I just try to keep my finger touching the mouse and it helps.

Add me to the list. I'd also like to get rid of that darn circle that shows up in the center on my document now. WTF do they keep adding stuff we don't want or need?

The darn cirlcle / target thing gets me as well; every time I want to move an image frame I end up hitting the target and move the image within its frame. Much prefer when I used to have to press "a" for the direct tool and then at least knew what I was moving.

If Apple or Adobe aren't going to address this I will consider getting a different mouse - will break my heart, but I'm going to have to or otherwise suffer early-onset carpal-tunnel from having to keeping my fingers so darn stiff on the mouse.

I don't have a mouse (except the one that visits the kitchen) Use a bamboo and a trackpad. But would suggest you try turning off the multi-gesture support in the InDesign prefs (will dissable pinch scaling and rotation of objects which i find happens involuntarily on a laptop)...*does it help?

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't stop it from scrolling ...

I have my trackpad get disabled when I connect my bamboo... just 'cause I hate the scroll by mistake. It really is strange that apple won't let you configure the mouse per application, keyboard shortcuts can be controlled by app (and so can wacom tablets, joysticks and other HID) It was easier to know when you where on the scroller with other mice.

Okay, have found the answer on Adobe forums! BetterTouchTool - you can add CS5 as an application and then disable single-finger scrolling. You can then still scroll with two fingers if you want to, and your scrolling still works throughout the rest of your operating system. Sweet!
