["A Vituoso is a musician with real high morals"]
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!
