Certainly the non-functioning behaviour, or rather limited input response whenever the game sees a joystick seems to be incorrect.
I think I mislead you with my bad wording. From what I gather, when the game *receives joystick input* it stops keyboard/mouse input. So you can see the problem, your mouse device is at the same time a mouse and a joystick and using it both cancels and enables mouse input.
Anyway I'm working on a way to disable specific bad devices using the 'Game Controllers' control panel applet. When it's ready you may find it useful to solve this kind of problem with mouses that are also joysticks.
