Has anyone else noticed that if you hold down the mouse button for exactly
the right amount of time on say a title bar, and then release the button,
and then move the mouse, fvwm will drag the window anyway and not release
the drag until you click again?
The timing is very important for this, unfortunately I seem to be physically
tuned to do it exactly right quite often. It seems to be that clicking very
quickly avoids the problem, and it doesn't happen once the mouse has turned
into the four-way-move pointer, but if I release the mouse button JUST
BEFORE the circle changes to a four-way-move the problem shows up.
This has really annoyed me, particularly since I use a single-click to
deiconify windows and quite often end up dragging the icons around by
accident instead.
This has been around from at least 2.0.36 (first 2.0 version I tried) to my
current version, 2.0.39. It didn't happen to me in fvwm 1.24r (and still
doesn't). It's the only thing preventing my full enjoyment of fvwm2 :)
Other interesting information: Linux 1.3.52 (also tried many other versions
including the "stable" 1.2.13), XFree86 3.1.2 (X11R6) with Mach64, S3, and
SVGA servers. Not using emulate3buttons or chordmiddle. In other programs,
including fvwm1, my mouse buttons all work fine. Tried on a 486-33, 486-40,
Pentium-75, and Pentium-133 running fvwm both across the network and on the
local machine with the same effects.
Any ideas?
