  Today we encountered a slight problem with CloseWindow(). When we close
one window (window A), the result is a change in another windows Flags
(window B, a backdrop window), namely the REPORTMOUSE flag, which is cleared.
Window B becomes active when window A is closed.

  This is what happens in the code:

  A gadget in the window is double-clicked. This eventually leads to
the gadgets window being closed. The gadget has the flags GADGIMMEDIATE,
RELVERIFY and *FOLLOWMOUSE* set, and is of type boolean (hit select).

  After the double-click, CloseWindow(A) is called. When window B:s
Flags is examined it's REPORTMOUSE flag has been cleared.

  If we insert a Delay(100); before the CloseWindow(A) call, everything works
OK. A Delay(10); is not long enough.

  For now, we'll just set the flag after the call, but we'd like to know
why this happens, and if there's some other way around it.

Clues?
