hi,
I read:
what is the reason for this and is there a workaround to use gemmouse
you could try [MouseState] from cyclone, this is ugly but it works without needing focus. I think cyclone is in the installer.
cyclone: http://suita.chopin.edu.pl/~czaja/miXed/externs/cyclone.html docs: http://test.pilot.fm/pd/patches/help/
sorry no idea about gem/osx
take care,
x
