Actually, now that I think about it... I've been inconvenienced (is that a sufficiently weak term?) slightly (just to be on the safe side) by this often enough that I now hit F2 F2 (my personal binding for other-window) instead of clicking with the mouse just to avoid positioning point. So a user option to prevent point moving when switching windows with the mouse would be cool. (The modeline also does this, but it's a bit hard to hit.) kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
