> It works ok with 3.6..<BR><BR>
<BR>
a *quick* and *incomplete* survey of 3.6 vs. current shows:<BR> - deal with change in Text type (platform independent) <BR> - handle WM_CHAR (windows specific) <BR> - handle newlines differently (platform independly, except maybe the data varies per platform) <BR>
<BR> I tried undoing the last two, still no luck.<BR> The first is harder to undo, maybe "impossible", just have to read/debug it and decide it is ok or not..?<BR>
<BR> Next easy step is probably to see if repros with 4.1,<BR> and then proceed with comparing the "closer" repro vs. non-repro.<BR> If it does not repro with 4.1, and newer releases are available<BR> between it and current -- e.g. 5.2 -- would be good to narrow<BR> down when it started happening and compare those source trees.<BR>
<BR>The code in question is stuff like mtext and textport.<BR>
<BR>There are functions named key or Key or mouse or Mouse. Those are also important to look at, I think.<BR>
<BR>Not being particularly close to figuring this out, consider ignoring everything I have said. :)<BR>
<BR>It is hard to pass up such a simple repro. :)<BR>And the knowledge that 3.6 works, and really not much has changed in the intervening ~12 years..<BR>
<BR>Oh, and there are pixmap changes.<BR>Randy, I glossed over the mail about pixmaps.<BR>You have a simple repro of that?<BR>You can try it with 3.6?<BR>
<BR>3.6 should still be readily downloadable from the web, and it really isn't<BR>difficult to get it up and running, at least on Windows.<BR>(I can't speak for Linux. I ran 3.6, albeit hardly at all, on Linux 1.2 I think it was,<BR>and NT 3.51, maybe later NT and maybe Win9x)<BR>
(and 3.6 is liberally licensed, so anyone can send it around.<BR>The notion that 5.1 was the open source release always sounded wrong...)<BR>
