It's gotten me both >after long periods of inactivity and between keystrokes. Two of our users have complained of the same phenomenon. They think it may be after long periods of typing into a remote client without any other activity on the local server - particularly, no mouse motion. It seems that when they jostle the mouse occasionally the symptom isn't noticed. It's particularly frustrating to me because I haven't seen it myself (I mouse a lot), and they can't really provide me with reproduce-by scripts. I suggested the gross hack of using XWarpMouse() to (virtually) move the mouse in little circles, one step every fifteen seconds or so, and observing the effect. No reports back as to whether this changed anything, but you might try it. -=- Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@ohio-state.{arpa,csnet} or ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bob soon: bob@aargh.cis.ohio-state.edu
