Input Managers suck

I had a problem some time ago with Stickies stopping working. It loaded up fine, but I couldn’t add any text or data to any notes. Then, I downloaded Gmail notifier, and got the same problem - I could type in a password, but not the login name. This was too annoying, so I did some hunting around. I found the following Input Managers in my Library (both these apps were working fine on other user logins):

  • Amendment
  • HotService
  • Menu Extra Enabler
  • Smart Crash Reports
  • StepMenus

I disabled the lot of them, and it all works fine now. The moral is, Input Managers can screw stuff up. Stuff in other programs.
