I TOTALLY AGREE
I am not using MiNT at the moment, because something with my GEMINI goes
wrong, but I'm working on the ST text editor of the future, which makes
use of the right mouse button to work in background windows. It is very
annoying that mouse events are usually (at least not on my STE) not sent
to background windows if the top window is not owned by the same
application (I am talking about DA- multitasking now).
I sure wish this is going to change in MultiTOS, which is after all at
the moment a more vital concern to all of us than just MiNT, I think.
