Logitech Keyboard Bug

Hi there,
The bug I want to report is essentially a conflict between the Logitech iTouch Software and Torque.
When in the iTouch Software I set all the F-keys to have an action as 'Transparent Pass-through' This is the only option to stop logitech's F-feys to be used for something else. Conciquently, you can't use the GUI Editor or particle editor. F11 works in most cases but still sometimes dodgy.
Removing the software does not drastically improuve the situation, as you lose F11, but gain F10. You in either case cannot use F5. You can only access F11 if you pull down the console and then press it and remove the console. So tricky.
Not sure directly is this is a Toraue SDK bug, but still needs to be said.

Everything works fine.
All F keys work in torque as they should .
Maybe this is a version issue.

This could be.
I'm using the latest iTouch, version v2.22 build 289
Each time I press the F keys, except for F11, Torque sees the action as:
keyboard0 input device unacquired.
keyboard0 input device acquired.
Which is odd...

This is totally strange... I've got all my F-keys on Transparent Pass-through, and I'm assuming everyone else has too no?

No I don't use transparent pass through for any of my keys, if I need the extra functionality from them I just hit the F-Lock to toggle it. Whith the F-lock set to Standard F-key Functions I have not had any problems using them in Torque or any other application.
