What has happened to the World Menu?
The 'normal' left-button gets something similar to the previous release but with an anomalous hierarchical-type submenu for 'Preferences and Services' that behaves quite unlike all the other sub-menus of the World Menu. The middle-button used to open a personalised menu - and the preference is still there to do that but it doesn't have any effectc - but now produces a strange menu with hierarchical-type submenus for much of the usual World Menu items and some very odd entries. Including some non-hierarchical-type submenus (playfield options for example). It's a bit naff to have an odd admixture like this. Wouldn't it be nicer to be consistent? tim -- tim Rowledge; [hidden email]; http://www.rowledge.org/tim "How many Slavers does it take to change a lightbulb?" "Dunno.

A middle button click with the preference enabled and disabled, the menu is the same. Maybe it works a different way now? brad |

Now the left (redButtonPressed) button works just fine, but when I press the right (yellowButtonPressed) mouse button, I get a 'playfield' menu (probably the PasteUpMorph menu under my morph). The mouseDown: method does not even get called!!! Am I doing something wrong, has anything changed that I am not aware of? Elod |
