RE: Problem with `while-no-input'

[klaus.berndl]

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

        yes.
        
        But i use a 3-button mouse! I didn't know that a user has explicitly
        set this variable to 3 if he uses a 3-button mouse?! Is this documented
        somewhere??
          


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.
