I notice that some of the recent discussions have touched on key-mapping and the mouse user interface.

I stumbled across problems with the ClickStateHandler code a while back and have been slowly gaining knowledge (or confusion) about this ever since. I have even tried a substantial rewrite/bug fix which I've added to http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=1347.

There's too much detail to put into an email but to summarize.

The double click handling specs have been changing more or less constantly. Including myself. There are at least a half-dozen programmers who have taken a whack at it. The guts of the logic have been changed more than that many times.

One of the pieces needed is the user story of what double click, click, drag and timeout should be doing. How they should relate to each other and the processing of mouse up,down and move; Mouse enter and leave. How should all of this affect mouse focus.

Squeak will be more powerful with this resolved.

Yours in service, -- Jerome Peace
