- As was recently pointed out, HeliosMouse has a bug that prevents you from
- being able to move Workbench icons from one disk window to another. The
- uuencoded file at the bottom of this message contains a fix for this problem.
-
- The following paragraph should be inserted in the documentation just before
- the paragraph beginning "To remove the input handler ..."
-
- If you are holding down either of the mouse buttons when you move the
- pointer over a new window, it will NOT become activated. This is so
- that you can still drag icons from one window to another, and so that
- you can pull down menus without changing the active window. Be sure
- to press the menu button while it is still within the window whose menu
- you want to us! Pop-up menus are better suited to a HeliosMouse-type
- interface than pull-down menus, but these are not available in Intuition.
-
- I guess you can figure out from that what the fix is. This makes better sense
- for gadgets, menus and other clickable or draggable items, too.
-
- The fix is in Helios-Handler.c (see comp.sources.amiga for the updated source).
- The following uuencoded binary replaces the old version of Helios-Handler; you
- will not need to replace HeliosMouse itself.
-
- Thanks to John for reporting the problem. Sorry for taking so long to fix it,
- but I'm some 700 news items behind!
