I just tested this on my PC and I don't have any issue like yours.  I am running DeskScapes v3.25 with Logitech SetPoint 6.20.64.

I'm not seeing it either....Deskcapes 3.25 w/ Setpoint v5.42.34 driver 5.20.51

 

of course latest one is 6.20.64 (but in logitech sotfware show me 6.20.50 version?????????? never mind )

 

I downloaded/installed the 6.20.64 package. Check the Control Panel > Programs and Features to see the installation version.

The "SetPoint Options" displayed version is device dependent. I use a G9 laser so it installs the appropriate driver/setpoint version.

If it's only started the problem since updating the Logitech drivers I suggest you roll back to the previous version.

Logitech used to make great hardware, but these days all their mice, even the high cost ones, seem to come with low end micro switches that begin to fail after roughly one year, turning left button single clicks into double clicks. Their software, on the other hand, has always sucked, and it has a nasty habit of interfering with 3rd party software.

Setpoint, for instance, hooks into every process (why would a %##"@ mouse driver need to do that?!) and then has a nasty habit of sending WM_PAINT messages to 3rd party windows, even layered windows (this can make them to go blank and stop updating unless the WM_PAINT message is caught and 'eaten' first).

I've had my mediaplay mouse for like 5 years, never had a problem with it. I was using SetPoint 4.x and it always said I was up to date, had no idea it was so far behind.
