It's definitely due to the window manager (fvwm2) in my case. I tried stopping the window manager; then the move function worked normally. After restarting the window manager, it no longer worked. I've now tried running the 32 bit version of fvwm2, and that works. So it's very clearly a problem with the 64 bit version. > There is an open bug report about extra events produced by left > clicks in my window manger (Fluxbox) but it is over year old. > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3164835&group_id=35398&atid=413960 This is pretty much what I see, except that it happens with all buttons. The sequence is: LeaveNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x9c00004, EnterNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x9c00004, KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0, ButtonPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x9c00004, ButtonRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x9c00004, With the 32 bit version, I only get the last two, as you'd expect.
