Hm... the first bug?

Ok, so I'm in the middle of a game, and all of the sudden, my mouse button is unresponsive. To make sure this was just contained to pop-pop, I deactivated it, and clicked around the desktop. It worked.

So, I quit pop-pop, and restarted it. The mouse button resumed normal functioning.
A while later, the same thing happend.

So, is this a problem with my comp, or a bug?

Edit: During this time, the arrow icon was visible in pop-pop

The blinking arrow means that your connection to your opponent is not the best.

As for the mouse button not responding, I have the same problem from time to time. I find this to happen a lot when I close a chat box, and among other times. I have an old Mac, almost 4 years old now, a 266mhz G3.

For best performance, I have the music and the background water turned off, as well as quitting as many application as possible. This has made a huge difference!

Ah, that might explain it. I had various programs open at the time.

Probably, as anklebiter mentioned, a background app problem.

But - I think the "arrow icon" you mention - did you mean the normal arrow cursor on top of the pop-pop yellow cursor? That is a known "bug" when you put your cursor near the top window title bar - the regular arrow will be drawn on top of the pop-pop yellow cursor. A bit weird - but harmless.

If you mean the two red arrows near the top of your screen - and they were flashing on and off - THAT is a network connection warning icon. Guess we should try to get a snapshot of it for the FAQ so we can explain it.

HTH!

Try increasing the memory allocation.

That can't be done in OS X.

Because it doesn't need to be. OS X will give the program as much or as little memory as it needs.
