Arthur and Sami:
This question comes up about once a week. Can one of you please enlighten us
all as to what the mechanism is which is causing this? The events aren't
getting delivered by the normal mechanism. If it's a bug which is going to be
corrected, just say so. If it's one of those gawd-awful problems because the
native object grabs everything before you get a chance to and is going to be a
bear to fix, at least we would know not to expect relief anytime soon.
Can someone enlighten me as to whether this is also a problem on Solaris
platforms? I know it is solveable there, and shouldn't be too difficult; I
don't know if it is solveable under Win95.
