I think Windows never had a thing like "focus-follows-mouse-strict" or "focus-under-mouse". Windows' official non-click philosophy is to change focus (and possibly autoraise) iff the mouse _enters_ a new window. That is, you have to explicitly click on the desktop in order to "give it focus". Raising a window automatically gives it focus. I'm on Windows ME where focus changes by default would happen instantaneously, that's why I'm using a somewhat infamous thing called TXMouse which is, however, "sloppy" too. Hence, in my opinion, changing the value of `focus-follows-mouse' won't have any impact on existing Windows implementations. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
