When I run emacs in GNOME, the right mouse button isn't ignored for me (it acts just like the left button though). Which version of Red Hat Linux did you upgrade from btw? As I think of it, I may have been careless, and not clicked the right mouse button out of the elevator. We updated in an orderly progression from 7.3 to 8.0 to 9.0. I think you ARE seeing the same behavior as I am seeing if your buttons do not do the "move line to here" behavior. -wdc Now that I have the relevant system in front of me I confirm that the original description of right mouse behavior was incorrect. You and I ARE seeing the same behavior. The revised right mouse button behavior is: Right mouse click: Same as Left mouse click. I hope you can find the source of this problem and produce a rememdy. Emacs was the last, most important place, for me to have acceptable scrollbar behavior. Losing it is a real shock. Hmmm, maybe you want the "--without-toolkit-scroll-bars" build configure option? While I sympathize, I don't want to change the default scrollbar now used by Emacs. If you really want this changed, then I suggest you take this up with the Emacs Developers (eg on the emacs-devel mailing-list). However you may like to know that the next version of Emacs should support the Gtk toolkit, and also seems to behave in the same way as Xaw3d scrollbars, except Button-3 is ignored afaict). [Btw I'm surprised by the dependence of the behaviour the desktop environment.] |
