Okay I admit the stroking is fun. Especially for zooming in maya, seeing as the stroke is the scroll wheel it has a ball bearing effect and scrolls in until you tap the service again to stop it.

There were no errors this time, the weird thing is, I turned on the computer and fired up maya and the freeze transformations and center pivot now work! I don't understand.
Whats worse, is that the scroll wheel zoom now doesn't work any more,
I have checked the preferences and it appears the scroll wheel is enabled so it should work. I know maya can be buggy sometimes but this is just annoying.

P.S the magic mouse has no middle click... thats the main issue
