ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

on my macbook running lion, whenever i trigger a targeted ability (throw bomb for example)my mouse gets locked to the action bar. I am unable to move the mouse cursor out of the action bar area and can either cancel the action or use the arrow keys to target. It works fine under windows so i suspect its a mac only issue, possibly a Lion issue. Anyone know about this?

This is a Mac issue, yes. No word on why it happens, and it's been around for a while. :/ In case you weren't aware, shift + arrow keys lets you aim freely. Not as important as it once was, but still useful in some situations.

I get this too, another tip to deal with it is to hold the cursor above the enemy and then pressing the quick-key combination and just clicking.

It would be great for mac users if this could be fixed. Until my last character I had been able to deal with it just fine, as I mostly targeted enemies directly, but now with a summoner I find myself targeting empty squares pretty much all the time. And doing that with just the keyboard can get annoying fast.

What is the "action bar"?

I think the action bar means the talent icon bar here. What I notice myself is that the cursor does not necessarily stick to that bar, rather it sticks to wherever it is when entering targeting mode. So if my mouse is in the middle of the screen, and I activate a skill that I have to target, then the cursor stays where it was but it becomes almost impossible to move it. I say almost impossible because the cursor is not completely stuck, it can still be moved, but extremely slowly, as if mouse sensitivity had dropped to a very low value.
