Crash when using middle mouse

[MikeS]

Hi

I use a three-button mouse (Evoluent Vertical Mouse) and do a lot of CAD and reading drawings where the middle mouse button is commonly used for panning or rotating objects depending on application. I have to map the middle mouse button using x-mouse or else it is only treated like a right mouse button. Also, I use a dual-monitor setup.

Problem is, when I click the middle mouse button using XnView on the secondary display the program seem to minimize the window and freeze. The window disappears, the window icon thingy in the taskbar is still there, but the program refuses any response. I have to kill it with Task Manager, because nothing happens if I right-click on the taskbar entry.

I could of course avoid using the middle button in XnView, but all my various 2D and 3D applications and PDF viewers and DWG viewers and whatnot use different button schemes, so when I want to pan and zoom I usually stab around whacking buttons and scrolling wheels until the desired effect happens. It is quite a chore memorizing the kinesthetic patterns for all and every of the dozen applications I use daily.

This problem does not appear if I use XnView in the other (primary) monitor. There, the middle button switches between fullscreen and windowed just as it should. But the requirement that I ought only use XnView on that display is just another layer of mnemonic burden when juggling around windows. I would prefer it if XnView just plain stopped b0rking every time I nudge the middle button with XnView on the second monitor.

Using Windows XP64 on a FireGL V3600.

Otherwise: FABULOUS application! ^_^ Thank you!
