So I upgraded to Tahoe Public Beta 1 yesterday when it came out. For the most part, things are working extremely well.

I have noticed a problem with my Magic Mouse though. The sensitivity is now extremely low to the point where I need to carry my mouse several times to make it from one end of the screen to the other. The sensitivity slider in preferences no longer seems to have any effect at all - it can't make it faster or slower. My Logitech mouse is not affected by this problem.

I do have multiple mouse-related programs on my system and I am not sure how to cleanly remove all of them in order to find out if any of them are causing the problem or if it is a bug in Tahoe. The developer of one of them, CursorSense, has already told me that CursorSense is not causing this, and says Tahoe can no longer change sensitivity for the Magic Mouse. I thought I'd ask for confirmation from others before deciding what to do.

If you have Tahoe Public Beta 1 or Developer Beta 4 and use a Magic Mouse, have you noticed such behavior? Are you able to influence your cursor speed by adjusting the sensitivity in System Preferences or does the slider not seem to do anything in either direction? What mouse-related programs do you have installed?

If this is indeed happening to others, maybe it should be reported as a bug to Apple by someone who doesn't have programs like this installed.
