SYMPTOMS
When the 'Snap To' option of Intellipoint 2.2 is in effect, you may observe
a difference in behavior with Visual Basic 5.0 applications running under
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me versus Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000.
Under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me, the mouse pointer moves to the Command
button with focus when its parent form gains focus. There is no cursor
movement under Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000; this is considered the correct behavior.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Basic
6.0.
