Subject: Re: Raise Windows with Single Click Fails Despite Single Click
Activation on Current Window Maker
Some time ago I wrote to the list about an issue with using a single
mouse
click to raise miniwindows. The problem was that a single left mouse click
did not raise a miniwindow for an application that was already running
despite "single click activation" being selected in WPrefs. At the time, I
did see any causes for the problem looking at the preferences, but I've
been able to further isolate the issue to a usb mouse since then.
I've found that the problem occurs with a usb wireless mouse, but not the
touchpad on my laptop. The built-in touchpad raises miniwindows with a
single left click, but the Logitech usb wireless mouse requires a double
click. The usb mouse works normally on all other actions in WindowMaker and
raises windows on a single left click in other window managers.
At this point, I'm trying to troubleshoot further and not certain that this
is a general X11 device issue. Running "xev" shows both the touchpad and
usb left mouse buttons sending the same output to X11. I can click to drag
a miniwindow and use a single left click on dialog boxes with the usb mouse
in WindowMaker, so the problem somehow appears specific to the miniwindows.
For example, I can hold down control and use a single left click to launch
another instance of a running application from an appicon using the usb
mouse.
Would anyone have any further suggestions on possible resolutions?
Dan,
Which version of Window Maker are you running? I'm on 0.95.7 now, and I
recall I had this issue with earlier versions. I think at 0.95.5 or
0.95.6 was when single-click raising of miniwindows began working for me.
If you are using an older revision maybe update to 0.95.7. As you are
experiencing, all other mouse actions worked normally for me.
I'm currently using a Logitech M510 wireless USB mouse, and previously
used another model of Logitech wireless mouse.
