Whenever I touch the top of the mouse (one finger or two), the circuit layout zooms wildly. It doesn’t matter whether I stroke the mouse up and down or left-right, the circuit zooms big (bigger than the screen) or tiny. No panning action from the mouse.  This is with both the eeschema and pcbnew views.

Have you or any other OS X user tried GAL with a common PC USB mouse? Is
the problem associated with this particular mouse model or is it the
same for any other pointing device under OS X?
