[comp.sys.mac.programmer] why doesn't my application unhighlight?

andre@elvis.cs.pitt.edu (05/14/91)

with think c 4.0.2, system 6.0.4, multifinder, on a mac ii with 8 megs

i typed in the zinger application (put a popup menu inside a window)
from macintosh programming primer vol 1 and now have a strange
problem: when zinger is running and i select another application
window, the zinger window goes to the back, but the title bar does not
unhighlight.

i thought i might have screwed up the wind resource, so i copied one
from another (correctly working) application.  did not help.

i tried putting the wind resource from zinger into a correcly working
application.  the application worked fine.

i commented out all the popup menu code so that all the zinger
application does is open a window.  it still refuses to unhighlight
the title bar.

what have i done to cause this behaviour and what do i edit to turn
on/off this feature?
