I am running GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600).
And the mode line has been behaving crazy.
I used to run 22.1 and did not have this problem.
When the pointer accidently rests
on the mode line for a couple of seconds,
even though the Emacs window is not the topmost one,
it "sort of" comes on top on its own.
I say "sort of" because the original window bar still shows it
is the topmost one and still has the keyboard focus.
I am attaching two screen shots.
Do not even know how to formulate a search for this problem.
I know there is an "auto raise" feature under X11,
but why would we want it under Microsoft Windows,
especially if the implementation is not correct?
tried this:
(setq auto-raise-mode nil)
(auto-raise-mode 0)
(auto-lower-mode 0)
(setq auto-lower nil)
(setq auto-raise nil)
no effect.
Please help me disable this feature.
When the pointer rests on the mode-line (or anywhere else)
of the Emacs window, I do not want the Emacs window to move __at all__.
Thanks so much in advance.
I guess the problem was with the tooltip that was being displayed. Just do
(tooltip-mode nil)
in the scratch buffer and press C-x C-e. The tooltip messages will be displayed in the echo area instead. I got the same problem on my emacs 22.3.1 in windows XP (which was run in virtualbox on my ubuntu) and the above code resolved the issue. I hope this helps
