What were you trying to do?
Breifly: cancel a move or resize operation.
If using the title-bar's resize button, it is impossible to
cancel a resize request by depressing any other button. It *is*
possible to cancel (by pressing another button) if invoking
"f.resize" through a key-binding specified in the user's .twmrc.
Additionally, if OpaqueMove is on, it is impossible to cancel a
move request by depressing any other button. Again, it *is*
possible to cancel a "f.move" invoked through a key-binding. If
OpaqueMove is off, it can be canceled either way.
If this explanation makes no sense, come see me and I can
demonstrate it much easier.
What's wrong:
It did not cancel the operation, it completed it.
What should have happened:
It should cancel the operation, or at least be consistent in its
behavior.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Well, now there's a tricky one. Cancelling is not explicitly
mentioned in the manpage. This seems to be one of those
features that was carried over from uwm but not completely
implemented or documented.
