I can reproduce this problem. I can also reproduce it under XWin in windowed mode with twm, but not on Xorg on Linux, so this seems to be XWin specific, but not related to multiwindow mode WM, which is a real puzzler. I assume that you see the same behavior with other X applications, i.e. it's not xterm-specific? > The XWin.logs are the same regardless if mouse is inside or outside, > but I notice a small difference in xev's output. Yes, it looks like the events are delivered to the top window of xterm's hierarchy when the mouse is on the non-client area of the window or the desktop, but to the bottom window of the xterm hierarchy when the mouse is over the xterm window. I also note that if you type a deadkey with the mouse in the client area, then move the mouse over the frame, type a key, it is passed straight though, then move the mouse back over the client area, and type a key, it is modified by the previous deadkey. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
