System: Windows 7 64 bit

My installation of Inkscape 0.48.4-1 has developed a loss of appropriate mouse focus. This occurs at several critical places:
- Icons on the left tool bar become unresponsive after one is clicked. This can only be fixed by clicking focus off the inkscape window itself (eg. another window or Windows desktop)
- The tool icon on the main canvas is not displayed properly, eg. the rectangle tool appears as the pointer tool, etc.
- Tools don't work properly: Eg. I can't use the pointer tool to select object by clicking on it.

Have reinstalled 0.48.4-1 and tried installing 0.48.3 but with no improvement.

I assume this effect must have been due to some Windows update or other software install because 0.48.4 *was* working correctly for several weeks, but have been unable to roll-back successfully to undo this effect. Is this some kind of library or dll update collision?

Thanks for help and regards,
