Summary:
Fox toolkit changes mouse speed

Detailed description
After clicking on the applicaton to give it focus, the mouse pointer movement dramatically slows for me such that I
have to move the mouse a long ways to move the pointer.  Clicking on the desktop or other native Windows application
causes the mouse pointer movement to revert to the normal settings.

Is there any way the Fox toolkit can import the Windows mouse settings to avoid this problem?

I had occaision to get a new computer.  Using the same
version of Ruby copied from the old computer did not exhibit
this symtom--the mouse movement was the same whether Work
Time Recorder had the focus or not. 

Then I installed the Logitech MouseWare drivers version 9.79
and the problem showed up again.  

I would switch back to the Microsoft native mouse driver but
when using Remote Desktop, it has the mouse buttons switched
on the remote computer (I'm using the mouse left handed). 
With the Logitech driver, there is no such problem.

Attempted to run Work Time Recorded with Ruby 1.8.5 to see
if that would address the issue but it wouldn't start up.

This is still an issue with version 2.01 and has been since
this bug was filed.  To duplicate this issue may require
setting your Windows mouse motion speed setting towards the
fast side.  I have the slider at about 75% to the fast side
and acceleration set to High which works well on this 21"
monitor.  

This is not really a bug in WorkTimeRecorder but an issue
with how the Fox tookit interacts with Windows.  However,
there may be some way to tweak the mouse motion settings in
the Fox toolkit which is why I filed this bug.

I wasn't able to duplicate this bug - windows xp service pack
2 (about popup syas work timer 2.0 but installer said 2.0.1),
so either it's been fixed or it's not replicable on my machine.
