I have an IMAC G5 Intel running 10.4.11. The whole screen is moving when I move the mouse whether or not I have any button pushed. When the screen moves, the edges go offscreen. This is a brand new development and, although it doesn't appear to affect functionality it makes the computer sort of uncomfortable to use and I know this should not be happening

The scroll wheel functionality is controlled through a checkbox accessible by clicking the Options button in this panel. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Unzoom by hitting cmd-option-<minus sign> repeatedly (doing this never goes below unity magnification), and see if that eliminates the problem. For more on this, go to System Preferences >> System >> Universal Access and explore the "Zoom" settings and options. Turning Zoom Off may also end the problem (but then you won't be able to magnify the screen when you want to).
