I've reset the cache and reinstalled a fresh client with all new User files, so a fresh install completely, the issue remains and makes the game unplayable.

The pointer location does not match the location on the screen, it's not an offset, it will get stuck somewhere and getting it to respond properly is very odd.

For example, when resetting the graphics settings on the fresh install, I was trying to get the settings to low in the droplists and it got stuck on one of them. Closed the window by hitting escape again, then reopened it and went for the 'particles' checkboxes etc.

It toggled one box, then when I tried to toggle the rest continued to toggle the original box.

Closed/opened window and was able to use the interface properly.

In game, can't select any of the icons like Science and Industry, can't drag windows around, can't change windows in a stack by clicking the top bar, the mouse isn't where it thinks it is.

In station, can't spin the ship even. I had to use keyboard shortcuts to once again get to my alliance chat to tell them that I still can't use the Mac client.

There's always been a little 'drift' on the Mac, like I'll drag a window left 500 pixels and it will only move 450 pixels, not too bad, I can't work with that. Now I can't use the mouse reliably at all.

This is since last patch, have been crashing occasionally as well with a core dump.
