Running Boxee v 0.9.3964 on a Mac OS X 10.5.5

When I got to Settings > Media Sources
I mouse over the Local Sources, Network Sources, etc and can not click on them with the mouse. I can highlight them with the mouse and use the keyboard to press enter to get into those options. Once in those options I also can not use the mouse to click on highlighted items.

Yes, it is a known problem that various options can't be mouse clicked on. Until it is fixed, you are better off just using the keyboard (arrow keys and enter key). Also 's' to quit and 'a' for the left menu.

hi malcolmxavier... welcome to boxee.

this is a commonly reported issue. boxee was, unfortunately, not designed with mouse access first-and-foremost. :(

team-boxee is making strides in this area, but there are still some mouseless-holdouts.

here is some more info, from the team: http://blog.boxee.tv/2008/09/29/of-mice-and-users/

i can attest to the fact that it's MUCH better than it was in the last build. :)
