I have recently installed Epoch version 3.2 on a SPARC 2 under X11, and it is working well except for one small but very irritating problem. Every now and again, epoch will start to ignore mouse button presses, particularly the left (position cursor) and middle (paste text) buttons. If in a fit of frustration you press the paste button several times and then press a key, several copies of the paste text will suddenly appear. It appears as if the mouse button events are getting stuck somewhere, and a keypress event releases the flood. This does not seem to happen to the right mouse button, although this is an intermittent problem so it is hard to be sure. It may be that I made a mistake in the installation procedure, but since everything else works perfectly this seems unlikely to me. Has anyone else seen this kind of problem? Any advice would be welcome. Alan
