Hi,
Has anyone else has problems with mouseclicks (or drags) not
registering sometimes in OS 10.3.6 (I also had the problem in 10.3.4,
and maybe before that - don't remember). I only notice it in the
bottom about-fifth of the screen (iBook dual USB, 12in). But it's not
constant. For example, I currently this message open in Mail, down to
about that boundary, the Mail "status window"open at the lower-left to
the bottom of the screen underneath the message window. I also have
iTunes in the background, covering both in about the center of the
screen, and showing at the lower right.
If I'm in iTunes, and click on the (visible) *title bar* of the
status window, it comes to the front, and Mail becomes active. But if
I click in the *content area* just below the title bar (1 pixel below),
it doesn't register. But it's stranger than - this "non-registering
behavior of the status window content area continues down, but *only*
to where the bottom of the iTunes window is. So if I click in the
status window *below* where the iTunes window ends (iTunes is still on
the top of the heap), Mail activates. There is and odd interaction
when I have the message window at the top, the iTunes window in the
middle, and the status window at the bottom, where clicks on the
left-bottom side of the iTunes window (default metal version) won't
register, but if I click in the "metal" area directly above and to
the*left* of the right edge of the "add playlist" button, it registers.
I do have the PrefPane sidetrack installed, but from the looks of the
pane, it looks like it's completely off (everything is disabled). Is
there a utility like "Quartz Debug" that can inform you of mouse events
when they are received at the Window Server level (not the app level)?
There is a good chance that my system is just screwed up somehow (don't
have any idea how, but I haven't reinstalled since Panther came out..)
