Twice now I have lost the use of Dashboard and Exposé through their F-keys and through my mouse which is mapped to use F-keys on clicks.

Anyone else had this, it may have something to do with Time Machine and using Exposé at around the same time.

I had this problem when I used to play World of Warcraft.

When the app was quited, the functionality of the F keys was gone and I had to configure it again.

I don't know if they have patched this up yet though.

Click to expand...

Hmm I don't play Wow.

A restart seems to restore some of the settings.

Yea if anyone can find a fix for this problem when I am playing WoW, alert me, because it is rather annoying to have to reconfigure this all the time.
