Maybe it has issues with multiple monitors? I have a total of 3 monitors. 2 (including my menu bar screen) on 1 video card and 1 on another card. Also, I'm using 10.4.9

When I active HotBox with the keystroke everything goes fine and I draw the box, but then it just makes everything go dark around the box without blowing it up full screen.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

HotBox works fine on 10.5.2 on my 24 inch iMac and you can type while zoomed but you can't use the mouse. Click anywhere to un-zoom or use the Esc key.

You can also do something similar using the Zoom functions in the Universal Access preferences pane or use Control-Scroll Wheel. The mouse functions will still work then.
