Mouse problems in Beta 35 Nike

Hello all. I'm still running the version above, still, and I have noticed some difficulties with the mouse for some time now. I could not use the mouse to select text for searching via C-r or C-s. I put it down to user incompetence, and was unprepared to search the documents, so I just put up with it. Recently I was using an earlier version (can't tell you which one) on a Solaris, and to my surprise, such selections seemed to work quite intuitively. On my linux 2.2.16-3, if I C-s, then move the cursor and double-click to select a word, the word selects, but I get "Mark set" message, and have exited Isearch mode. I leave the text selected, C-s again. Selection remains. I then move the cursor over the minibuffer and Button-2. I get: Signaling: (invalid-function (#<marker at 4728 in MassText.dtd 0x874f0b4> . #<marker at 4721 in MassText.dtd 0x874f09c>)) (#<marker at 4728 in MassText.dtd 0x874f0b4> . #<marker at 4721 in MassText.dtd 0x874f09c>)() isearch-yank((#<marker at 4728 in MassText.dtd 0x874f0b4> . #<marker at 4721 in MassText.dtd 0x874f09c>)) #<compiled-function nil "...(5)" [isearch-yank get-selection] 2 941965 nil>() call-interactively(isearch-yank-selection) Incidentally, if at this point I decide I want another frame, and select New frame from the View menu on the Backtrace frame, I get the new frame, and I also get: (1) (error/warning) Error in `pre-command-hook' (setting hook to nil): (wrong-type-argument unable to bind this type of event #<misc-user-event (call-interactively make-frame)>) In the midst of all of this fun and games, I will sometimes find myself trapped in Isearch mode. Don't ask me how. I know that sometimes I can get this to work, but today is not one of those days. The moon is just past full. Nothing short of killing XEmacs seems to shake that darn Isearch mode. On the subject of mice and men, has anyone else noticed what happens when you drag a slider bar? Your mouse pointer gets ahead of the slider; mine does anyway. Keep the button down, and repeatedly move right and left. -- Peter B. West pbwest(a)powerup.com.au http://powerup.com.au/~pbwest "Lord, to whom shall we go?"
