ventaIf the subject line made you go "What?"...
(I'm using NTEmacs, on Windows XP)
Every so often, when I've had an Emacs session open for a while, it develops a strange glitch. If I try to cut a line of text, or select a region, or cut a region, then the window loses the focus.
This fantastically annoying. It didn't happen when I had Windows '95 running.
So... is there some arcane combination of keys I'm hitting, which is bound to M-x do-strange-things ? Is it just a bug, and I deserve it for trying to use Emacs with Windows ? Is there some strange setting I need to tweak somewhere ?
Help!

Re: Umm...
Date: 2002-11-23 10:10 am (UTC)it can't be anything to do with Emacs per se, because it's not in control of focus traversal at that level.
I don't think that's true. There are windows calls that allow an application to steal or lose the focus, it's just that most apps are too polite to use them.
