Does setting it to nil really change anything for you, on Windows? It doesn't for me, AFAICS. I always thought the Windows window manager cannot be controlled in this way, it sets its own focus policy. (FWIW, I always change the latter to follow the mouse, since I hate the extra click and hate even more that the window that gets focus is always rasied.) > There is plenty of platform-specific code in Emacs - it automatically > DTRT (as a default, at least) for several common platforms. But the defaults generally don't change with the platform -- that's that old ``platform-independent vs native-flavor'' argument again, the same as with ls-lisp and what's not. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
