Multiplicity and Visual Studio 2005 on Vista

from Stardock Forums

When running Visual Studio on the primary system, the mouse doesn't move to the secondary system.  The mouse cursor seems to be lost and keyboard control is on the second system.  To make the mouse cursor reappear, I have to use "Show Desktop".  This only happens while running Visual Studio 2005.  If I run Multiplicity "as Administrator", it doesn't seem to fail.

Primary system has 2 screens.  Secondary system has 1 screen.

This is one of those unfortunate side effects of UAC.  UAC blocks part of MP when VS 2005 has focus but does not give MP the ability to detect this.  Running MP as admin too bypasses the UAC issue.
