bug#742: tool-bar and diary on XP

[Glenn Morris]

Information received off-list (see below) suggests this is
Windows-specific. I don't use Windows - can any Windows users help? It
sounds like some redisplay thing...

I haven't followed this, and I don't have time to look into it further, but just
in case it helps a bit:

I too have problems with the tool bar on Windows in Emacs 23 - have ever since
23 started. Tool bars keep showing up even though I have tool bars turned off.

I have fixed this in the Emacs 22 branch by resetting the mouse button 
state when coming out of the popup menu, as we don't get the up event in 
the Emacs window for the corresponding down event that caused the menu 
to be displayed.

FYI - The tool-bar problems I saw with Emacs 23 appear to be fixed in the
pretest (Emacs 22.2.91). HTH and Thx.

Thanks for confirming that the problem was not introduced by a change 
that also went into the Emacs 22 branch.

Sorry, I was confused. I was thinking this was an Emacs 23 pretest. The problem
still exists in Emacs 23. :-(
