The one other thing that I notice that I think is related to this is that in some applications (the one I see it in is ddd when compiled with lesstif), the selection does not even hold long enough to select it. If I click and drag (while still holding down the mouse button) the selection disappears. If I try to paste, my buffer has been deleted. I also have a related problem when I want to get a menu relating to an area that is larger than the default area. Normally, I would select the larger area and click (or right click) on it to get the appropriate menu. I can never do that. Does anyone have any ideas?
