- I'm using Xt event handlers for mouse button press, release and
- motion events to generate "echoing" such as rubberbanding.
- However, on IRIX 4.0.1 (and 4.0.4) I notice that I occasionally
- miss button release events. This usually occurs when the mouse
- is in motion while the button is released. So, assuming the
- mouse is polled say 100 times a second, periodically the mouse
- would generate a motion *and* button release event on the single
- polling cycle. Perhaps the software is then erroneously reporting
- just the motion event.
-
- My software is not using any of the X event queue manipulation
- routines such as XNextEvent.
-
- Any suggestions? Thanks much. Please email since our news service
- is flakey.
