Why does this disable the functionality of my MBP keyboard backlight? When I press F10 I see a cross sign going through it no matter what I do. Fiddling with the app doesn't help. Seems the old version was more stable.

I've been using this program for maybe a year and a half and it's had it's ups and downs but always seemed to get better. This is the worst version yet, my keys constantly flicker they turn on by themselves and never seem to stay off when they're suppose to. If you have the old version DON'T UPGRADE! and I encourage you to donate I have and I'm hoping this version will be fixed, until then I'll have to turn it off.

Lab Tick ReviewSevere flicker on MBP under Leopard - Version: 0.8.4, 7/10/2008 07:14PM PST

Huge swings in flickering from off to 50% intensity under Leopard wiht a Mac Book Pro. Worked great under Tiger. Virtually flawless. But the flickering is so bad under Leopard I had to shut it off.
