Hi. Someone just passed by here to check if the mouse is working.
Unfortunately we just checked the moving along of the mouse and the
functioning of the mouse menus and concluded that everything is
fine. Unfortunately I just realized that cut-and paste between windows, and
dragging windows is a real pain...

The problem is that when I try to "drop" the text to the new place,
and for this purpose I push both buttons simultaneously, the click is
rarely simultaneous, which is aggravating, because in 50% of the cases
I "loose" the text. (When I copy from an xterm window, the black part
becomes white again.)
Another thing, when I drag a window, sometimes it is willing to move
only vertically, but not horizontally.
I hope that's enough information. Thanks.
