It's not so simple. It also happens when you just move the window horizontally along the screen edge and pause for too long*. Sounds silly, but it can happen when you need to rearrange fingers on a trackball or pick up the mouse because it has move off the mouse pad. *In ancient time page flipping would also trigger _while_ moving the window horizontally. So I changed that to reset the timer when the pointer moves. The drawback is that you now have to stop the pointer completely to trigger paging. I'd really like to get rid of switching pages while the window stays completely on the previous page. But X11 does not report mouse movement when the pointer hits the screen edge, so the code cannot know in which direction the mouse is actually being moved. With that information one could define a movement angle that allows paging, and lateral movement +/- some angle would not do anything. Current situation for me: At least 90% of all paging situations are accidents. Maybe that feature ist just crap and we need a different mechanism to trigger paging. Like holding down Shift while moving etc. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
