I've just ported my application from MPW Pascal to LSP, and some strange behaviour has started. Two things happen when I try to drag a window. One, the gray outline appears and follows the mouse, but when I mouse-up, the window doesn't move. The other possible outcome is that the window moves, but the gray outline that gets drug around gets incorporated into the window. Two things make me post this before I spend hours debugging. This behaviour does not happen in the application if it is compiled under MPW, and it doesn not happen if I build a standalone application from LSP. It only happens if I run the application under LSP. Is there a short description of how LSP runs applications that may give me a clue as to where the problem lies? Thanks.

Two things make This will happen if you're running the beta MultiFinder (6.1b7, also called the "SADE MultiFinder"). I spoke with someone at Apple (who shall remain nameless, but is someone who should know) who suspected that it was a bug in the beta MultiFinder and is fixed in later versions. --Rich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer Symantec Corporation, Language Products Group Internet: siegel@endor.harvard.edu UUCP: ..harvard!endor!siegel "She told me to make myself comfortable, so I pulled down my pants and sat in the pudding." -Emo Phillips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interesting, I have had this happen to me while working on a DA. I didn't know what was doing it, and since the final compiled version worked right I didn't really look into it. I wrote the whole thing in LSP (no porting) so that wouldn't be the problem... Norman Franke nf0i+@andrew.cmu.edu
