No. The mode-line changes its look depending on whether the buffer it =20= belongs to is active (receives input/has the active cursor) or not. > Or do you mean that Emacs tries to figure out whether you really =20 > want to drag > the modeline and not do something else? This is my impression. > Does the behavior differ according to the modeline text portion =20 > displayed at the mouse position? Of course! On some portions a text window pops up, on other portions a =20= pointing hand like cursor is established (load average, major-mode, =20 buffer name,...), on others one with an upward pointing black triangle =20= with a vertical equals sign and a downward pointing black triangle at =20= the bottom. This cursor obviously tells that dragging can now happen, =20= but this change of the cursor's shape is sometimes delayed. Caused by =20= high system load. -- Mit friedvollen Gr=FC=DFen Pete Engineer: a mechanism for converting caffeine into designs
