452.0. "Yet another mouse problem" by DDIF::BRAMHALL (Mark Bramhall) Mon Apr 24 1989 11:32

    This just started happening this morning -- yesterday everything was
    fine...
    
    The mouse seems to be acting normally.  Movement correctly moves the
    pointer around.  And, clicking and double-clicking work OK.  But, I
    cannot get the menu bar to work.  And, I cannot re-size a window.
    
    It looks like the application doesn't know where the borders of the
    window are.  When I press and hold on the re-size thingy and then move,
    I get the same kind of dotted line rectangle that I would get if I were
    doing it in the middle of the window (the selection rectangle).
    
    When I hold down the left button over a menu bar item, I get a bunch of
    dashes (-'s).  [This when running 1st word.]
    
    Ideas?

    ??

452.2It's now working...DDIF::BRAMHALLMark BramhallMon May 15 1989 14:376
    Well, after everything rested a while and I re-plugged everything, it
    is now working again.  Sigh, I hate things that magically do not work
    and then start working again...
    
    I did check my backup copy, etc.  Everything was failing with the same
    symptoms.  Oh, well...
