Yes, I think it is a known bug, and the principal one of the current
release. Is a timing problem, I think (well, so I interpreted Chuck
answers to the problem, and the mention to it in TO-DO file, where
noticing the way Click vs DoubleClick vs Motion is calculated). Is there
anything going on on it? Well, I noticed that the problem is worst when
machine is quite loaded, so it could be that someone using a HP PA risc
with 64Mbyte of ram never notice it. But here, with a little 486/66, 16M
of ram, is really a problem. And if I remember well, fvwm1.24 did _not_
have it.
And more. It is related with the other bugs that make cursor transform on
dot and being "blocked" until a click, especially when using titlebar
menus and whe transient windows popping up?
is this one of the 15 out 30 things added ti the new beta release :-))?
Keep on the good work,
Romano.
PS: I really like fvwm2. I think this bug (or these two, if they are
distinct) are the only thing that need to be worked out before the
public release.
