i'm confused by epoch's (3.2, sun4) focus policy. sometimes when i move the mouse from one "screen" to another, the point follows to the same screen. sometimes it doesn't, and i have to click before what i type appears in the same window as the mouse. i spent some time fiddling with this, and it looks like epoch moves the point when you enter an epoch screen from another program's window (not the root window, however). but if you switch directly from one epoch window to another (they must be overlapping, or just the root window intervening), the point doesn't move. is this a bug or a feature? i'd prefer the point to follow the mouse consistently. -- QWERTY Scott Draves BASIC spot@cs.cmu.edu X Windows
