RE: Problem with `while-no-input'

[<klaus.berndl@sdm.de>]

Thanks for explanation!
 
is not a big deal to set w32-num-mouse... in the emacs-setup...but nevertheless: It would be better if Emacs would detect this for itself ;-)
I can not judge, if Lennarts suggestion in his posting is a good approach because i do not have the needed knowhow - but maybe another guy on this list...?! ;-)
 
Ciao,
klaus

It does no harm to have a 3 button mouse falsely detected as a 2-button mouse, since it only means the hack of pressing left and right buttons simultaneously to simulate a middle click is enabled when it does not need to be. Most likely your mouse drivers do not support querying the mouse for its capabilities so it is defaulting to the least common denominator case.
