System Prefs Resets Itself

[Samwise592]

Ever since installing Leopard, when i restart, the key commands for Expose, (all windows, application windows, and desktop) reset, but spaces does not.

... any ideas? i have NO idea what could cause this.

Expose etc...

Do you play WOW?

It's got a bug that resets the settings you mentioned. There is an applescript to "fix" the issue in the help forum

No, i don't. I had the trial installed with tiger, but i did an erase and install, so that shouldn't matter...

i'll go check the help forum,[Lazy] do you have a link? [/Lazy]

EDIT: sorry for not posting this in the help forums... if a mod could move it there that'd be great.

I found the thread in the support forum... but nobody posted a solution. 😕

My Apologies, the fix was in a WOW thread. Scroll down in this and there will be a link to a script that will reset the keys:

Thanks alot, seams to work so far.

What do you think the chances are that this will be fixed in 10.5.1? (annoying to run the script all the time)

I had this all the time in Tiger, was hoping it would have been fixed in Leopard. I have it happen on my Macbook, which doesn't have WoW on and both my work and home iMac, which do have WoW but is rarely opened anymore. So I don't think it is related just to WoW.

No, it definitely seems to be an OS thing... Apparently Blizz has had a ticket open with apple for at least 2 years on this issue and no resolution yet. I'd love to be able to say it will be fixed in a patch, but I suspect that it falls into the "when we have all the MAJOR probs fixed" bin...
