I'm finding lately that my cursor can get to the slave with no
problems (both hotkey and keyboard/mouse action), BUT... getting back
is another matter. Hotkey still works just fine for return (CTRL-ALT-
DownArrow), but using my keyboard combo (CTRL-ALT) plus moving the
cursor to the bottom of the slave screen isn't allowing the cursor to
jump back to the master screen. This used to work great.
Both machines are Win 7, and both are running ID 1.3 BETA (Build
100). I *did* change the version of ID not too long ago, but don't
know if that is the causative factor in this case. I also adjusted
the slave computer's display font size to be fairly large recently
(the slave computer is my media center computer hooked to a large TV,
so text needs to be sufficiently large to read across the room).
I do have an out: can use the configured hotkey. But the keyboard
combo plus mouse movement is particularly convenient.
Switching back to the previous version might be do-able, but this
latest version appears to have fixed my previous issue, which was that
the cursor would remain on the screen on the slave after I had
returned to the master computer. As I mentioned, the slave is the
media computer, and having the cursor stuck on the screen is something
I'd like to avoid.
Thoughts?

Can you try something for me - change the DPI on the media computer
back to 96 (default) and see if that fixes it - let me know.
Regs,
Shane.

Yes, that fixes the Input Director problem... cursor will now go back
to the master when I hold CTRL-ALT and move the cursor past the bottom
of the screen...
... of course, now the text on my media computer screen is way too
small! :/ I had the DPI at 150% (192 pixels per inch, according to
the "Custom DPI Setting" dialog box).

Correction: 150% is 144 pixels per inch, according to the dialog
box...

I was having the same problem, and changing the size of the text back to 100% (was set at 125%) resolved it for me as well.
However, the text is too small now. I love Input Director, and would love to see it become an active project again.
Any chance this text size issue could be fixed?
Any chance Input Director could become an open source project on GitHub or something?
Thanks, Jay
