No, in case you have the third button emulated, the "down" event starts to wait for - a movement event - an up event - the other button within a certain time interval or - the interval to timeout Without any of these happening the machine (mouse driver) won't know if this "down" event was meant to be a "down" event or just the introduction of the emulation special case. If you don't move your mouse or don't release the button / press the other button too, you will have to wait for the timeout (some 50 ms). This is when users experience delayed menu popup and the like. Unless I got your description wrong and you do release the button and X doesn't notice. Then I couldn't help you. But it might be helpful to have the above emulation "discussion" and its side effect of delay in the archive "for the record". :) virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
