-
- I have exactly the same setup and same problems. In addition, I have one more:
- A lot of times when I click the left button to set the "point", Emacs 19.2
- selects some text in addition to setting the point. This does NOT happen to me
- in other applications - i.e. my hand does not seem to be shaky enough to move
- the mouse by a word (or to the line above) when single clicking.
-
- It seems like if the mouse moves too fast, Lucid emacs is using the wrong
- co-ordinates for the mouse down event. Now that I remember, I seem to remember
- a problem I saw in OpenWindows 2.0 server which often gave wrong co-ordinates
- for the down event (vs the up event). I wonder if the same bug persists in the
- 3.0 server. Also, I am not sure if Sun OpenWindows folks know about this
- problem - I will try to find out.
