On a sun running 8.2.0 (8.2.1 packs):
Sometimes (actually quite frequently) when control-clicking large
stacks of zephyrs, certain zephyrs refuse to respond to clicks. They
also refuse to respond to delete window events. Then, some seemingly
arbitrary time later, they suddenly let you click them away. Other
zephyrs continue to appear and repaint and let you click them away
when this is happening. You can also drag the misbehaving ones around
and *they* repaint as well.
One possibly relevant issue is that I am using cfields' macros program
that simulates clicks with the keyboard. However, once the zephyr
windows start misbehaving, they won't respond to delete windows or
real mouse clicks. I haven't managed to reproduce this by
control-clicking with the mouse, but I haven't been trying to.
Bug in X server?
