Ha. That makes sense. 
There have been a half dozen authors of mouseclickstate handler stuff 
going back to Dan's work circa sq 2.7. 
Enough chances to introduce bugs. 
What's lacking is observation of those bugs.

Right now, for me, the problem is emeshed in the "mouse focus" problems. 
Part of the difficultiy is that these bugs are not part of one package. 
Gui problems often arise from the difficulties of 
"integrating" packages into squeak. 

Adrian: When you get into this mouse state what happens 
if you save the image and reload it? 
Does the problem state reset itself or 
does it persist after you start up the saved image?  
If the latter that would constitute a "hard" bug. 
Which means it could be tracked down.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
