To: xpert@athena.mit.edu Subject: selections and highlighting Date: Sun, 27 Nov 88 11:49:07 -0800 From: davy@riacs.edu Under R2, xterm and friends would highlight the current selection while you were selecting it, and then turn the highlighting off when you were done. Under R3, the selection stays highlighted until you select something else (at which point it is highlighted), or until the selection becomes owned by somebody else (as I understand it). Personally, I find this behavior "icky" - I don't like these black areas on my screen distracting me. I've tried playing with the various mouse button translations to make it behave like the R2 selection highlighting, to no avail. Has anyone figured out how to do this? Is it possible? --Dave Curry davy@riacs.edu As a few people have pointed out, I should have specified: X11R3 with MIT patch sets 1 & 2, Sun 3/50 and 3/60, SunOS 4.0, twm --Dave
