Hi,

I can't reproduce the bug, but at least I did some testing...

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.

I don't have a bluetooth mouse, but I can use my phone as a HID over an USB bluetooth adapter. Single click activation works. It also works using a PS/2 mouse and a wired USB mouse.

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?

What happens, if you first right click on a miniwindow, and then do a left click. If that works, then in case of double clicking, the first click is maybe interpreted as somekind of focus click, and the second as the activation click.

Thanks,

Dan
