Hi Stephen, sounds great. Please see the thread starting at http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200006/msg00136.html for more evidence why this mouse-track fix might be considered a BUG on Windows, as opposed to a feature. This functionality seems to have worked all along on UNIX. Hopefully Ben will add his insight on the subject. Would be great if people on Windows AND UNIX could try my patch, which is to be found at: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-build-reports/200107/msg00008.html Best regards, Adrian Stephen> Therefore, people who are building from the 21.4 series Stephen> on GTK/GNOME and MS Windows may prefer to build from the Stephen> 21.4.3 tarballs or using the r21-4-3 CVS tag, rather than Stephen> using the release-21-4 CVS tag, until the problems with Stephen> those platforms are resolved. In 21.4.5. :-) -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
