Hi,
I'm going to post this one to Acorn as well soon,
but I'd like to see if anyone else can shed some light on these
varying bugs:-

Bug in DDE Make
---------------

It doesnt like filenames (e.g. libraries ) which have
a special field in the name - e.g. a library in ArcFS
or something similar.

Risc OS 3.1 - Draw
------------------

My mouse got trapped in a vertical scroll bar
in Draw - I.e. I could move
my mouse up and down a small amount (i.e. 3/4 of
scroll bar sausage), but it would not move side to
side.  The mouse was jus tnext to the vertical scroll bar.

Just for reference: Draw was in select mode,
grid lock on, showing paperlimit.

I also had loaded FX 80, Apple LW printer drivers
(FX80 active), Watford MKII scanner, Impression 2.14,
Paint, Edit, I was in Mode16 with a backdrop loaded.

No keys worked - i.e. I couldnt get out with f12 - but
ctrl-break worked (as did capslock etc.)

Risc OS 3.1 - DRaw
------------------

(Minor bug- I think - it doesnt feel correct)
If you type some text, then select it and hit CTRL-E,
to edit it, you loose the caret when the window is closed.
