Activating WinUAE window coming from the left or the right border
If I move the Windows mouse pointer into the WinUAE window from the left or the right (without magicmouse enabled), the pointer remains a horizontal arrow pair (for changing window width) and WinUAE cannot be activated. Activation only works if coming from the top or the bottom.

Known problem but reason is unknown. Doubleclicking will capture the mouse in this situation.

btw, it is most likely related to mouse pointer resize arrow flicker.
Move mouse cursor carefully over left or right window border and you'll notice it changing to resizing image (left/right arrow) and then immediately changing back to normal cursor. This is confusing because it happens even if I disable all mouse related windows messages.. |

I must have mentioned this to you back in 1.5.X times not just once. It's really a fairly old issue. I also agree it's "quite" cumbersome to track down / fix, though. |

Similar at the top and the bottom, but there is a larger frame (window title and status bar) where the pointer already changes back to the normal diagonal arrow and stays like that when entering the body. However, I just encountered a PC (WinXP MCE) where it is completely different. It's like you say, the pointer only flickers to resizing image for a fraction of a second and then stays as a normal pointer. But here the Window can be activated by single left click without problems. |

Interesting. I have same behavior on XP and 7, also rarely mouse gets stuck in resize mode, doubleclick then captures the mouse.
Perhaps it is mouse driver specific? (Perhaps someone is bored enough to find when this was introduced..) |
