[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] evnt_multi

This keeps getting in my way, and I keep working around it.  When exactly
does a properly set-up evnt_multi() get mouse button events?  The latest
situation is that I'm waiting for (among other things) single button clicks
over the part of the screen my application owns.  When I open the control
panel over my window, I can move the color selector buttons around to my
heart's content without getting spurious messages.  But when I try to drag
the control panel window around on the screen, I get a mouse button event
exactly as the mouse pointer leaves the original outline of the c.p.w. 
This doesn't match the documentation (as I read it).  So what's really
happening here?  Is it TOS version dependent?  And to what extent does
someone care to explain the rest of the REAL behavior of this type of event?
