Hi:
Yes, As far as I can tell, it only works where there is an editing
cursor, but not in a menu or something where there is a highlight bar.
I am interested in this because I recently discovered that my "Make
Pointer Follow Cursor" script needs to be tweaked in order to work in
version 7.2 and I thought that while I am at it, I would try tomake it
work better all around if possible.
