Hi Marcel,

    thank you!!  It is very Turing to reposition the mouse to get it over the right selection when one has learned the other stile over the last 8 years.  It bring a preference is the only way I can see of making the system usable for existing users.  I guess my insistence on the preference to default to the old behaviour is too strong.  I'd be happy if I could set the preference.  So ignore that part.  I was annoyed and frustrated when I wrote that ;-)
