[QUOTE="finassy, post: 1095657, member: 168451"] Hi, I ran into this same problem -- and it was driving me nuts! :D Sometimes I even had to kill /System/Library/Input Methods/ChineseHandwriting.app/Contents/MacOS/ChineseHandwriting from the terminal because, even though it didn't show up in other desktops, it wouldn't give the mouse back! :Smirk: I think it might be a keyboard shortcuts conflict. I finally solved it by changing the keyboard shortcut to something other than CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR (the default). In case you're looking, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Keyboard & Text Input , then double-click on the current shortcut to the right of "Show/Hide Trackpad Handwriting" and enter your new shortcut. Just make sure you choose something that doesn't conflict with an existing shortcut ;D For example, setting it to CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+SPACEBAR suddenly meant it appeared on every space when selected. I've literally just got this to work, so it comes with [I]that[/I] health warning. Good luck, though :) f. P.S. If anyone at Apple fancies getting this working for Japanese, I'd be a very happy guy ... :) [/QUOTE]
