WoW is deleting my exposé prefernces!

[Keytachi]

hi! everytime i enter wow and then leave the game, all my exposé preferences are reset to zreo :( what is happening :confused:

[BigMäc]

That happens to me from time to time, too. I have no idea why, but no WoW was installed.

[CJM]

I find I get that too... I did wonder... No idea why, though.

[HiRez]

I've had WoW for over two years and have never had that happen. What OS version are you on?

[Nermal]

I've had WoW since 2004 and have run into this problem many times. I can't be certain that it's WoW doing it, but I believe that that's the consensus.

[Veldek]

I have the same problem and there's already a thread somewhere about this problem. I PM'ed rbarris to see if he could help, but didn't receive an answer yet.

It would be a good idea IMHO when all of us would go to a feedback site or something like this where we could complain. At least, Blizzard would know about the problem then. But I don't know of such a site. Do you?

[Ashapalan]

Interesting.

I had this problem too as of late. I uninstalled WoW a week a go and i have yet to see it happen again.

So i am fairly sure it was the game that did it...
Problems i have are that the 3rd click on mouse no longer has expose (excuse accent) effect and the active corners stopped working. Also dashboard wouldnt work, i had to actually click the app. (F12 didn't work).

You mean I'm not the only person with this problem? What a relief. I had this problem all last year, but lately I noticed its stopped (of course my WoW time has declined as well). I wonder what causes WoW to change the Expose settings?

[Mackilroy]

Hmm… I had my Exposé preferences vanish once, but this was before WoW was installed – it hasn't happened again.

[ijimk]

a work around for this is to log out and then log back in. i know it can be a pain but this is all i could find that works other than manually resetting the pref.

If you wonder why this way is easier for me its is because i have an 8 button mouse and dont remember which is button 4, button 5, button 6, button 7 etc. and have expose' mapped to these keys.
:(

I had this happen when I played wow. I always just went back and reassigned them only to have them erased within a couple days. It has since stopped happening when I dropped the game. I am not sure what causes it or how to fix it.

I would troll around the mac support board at worldofwarcraft.com. Blizzard has good mac support and chances are someone else has brought it up.

[Allotriophagy]

It's something to do with quitting whilst in window mode or swapping from window mode then quitting or...something.

It's definitely WoW and it's a pain in the bum.

[Keytachi]

it might be due to using the assigned exposé hotkeys in WoW (F12 - Dashboard and Auto-run) ill try the WoW forums

[AoWolf]

This is defiantly a know issue that has been occurring for several years now. Some time back the chance of it happening was decreased but if you play wow allot be ready to kiss expose hotkeys goodbye.

[Daiden]

Yep, Blizzard is well aware of this, and has been looking for the source of the problem/a solution for awhile now.

[J.Stunnaz]

i haven't had that issue, but whenever i play wow in full screen my hard drive icon is moved from the top right corner to the middle right, have any of you had this problem
