Yes, I'm relatively new to this website. So, if this isn't the right area for this thread I apologize.

I've had an iMac for the last couple years with OS X 10.4 Tiger as the operating system. A few months ago I got a macbook pro with OS X 10.5 Leopard.

I was just messing around with my Exposé options in the System Preferences and I came across a very strange occurrence.

What are all these mouse options?
Does it have anything to do with the track pad?
I considered that, but 30-something different ways to use the track pad sounded a bit ridiculous.
Does it have anything to do with the Mouse Keys option in the Universal Access pane?
If so, are they only available when I turn Mouse Keys on?

I don't remember if it was like this when I first got the macbook, and if not then maybe it happened somewhere along the line when I downloaded this or that. I do remember this not being the case on my iMac when I had Tiger on it.

Any intel would be great, but it's not an urgent matter by any respect.

Just had a look at your pic. Seems to be that that window with the 32 mouse selections is not part of Sys Prefs. As far as i recall tiger has separate selection for Keyboard and Mouse where one gets to assign functions to mouse. What is the menu bar that is just out of your screen shot - include that and repost the pic it may shed more light on the query of 32 and get you the answer you want.
