I confirm Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko's results -- single touchpad tap acts as left mouse button press/release event, but double-tap-and-drag doesn't seem to work so well. Double- and triple-taps themselves seem OK, though. [My test was trying to quit from ical: I can click on the "File" button, but as soon as the mouse leaves the area of that button, the drop-down menu that showed up, and that includes the "Exit" selection, disappears.] It is definitely a large step in a positive direction -- thanks! :-) Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org I do not "unsubscribe" from email "services" to which I have not explicitly subscribed. Rather, I block spammers' access to SMTP servers I control, and encourage others who are in a position to do so to do likewise.
