[M3devel] need help with cm3 problem before I deliver software this week

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