First time ive looked at Cuis, very impressive, feels fast.
I did notice a small hiccup.
Using cogwin 2361 or SqueakVM-Win32-3.11.5.
With Cuis 3.1-0850
Im on Windows 7 64bit Operating System in case it matters.
Launch Dual Change Sorter and you cannot click on the 'x' or the '-' button int the title bar both of those buttons when clicked behave exactly the same as the normal title
bar area they pick up the window for dragging. NOTE: the '+' and 'inverted triangle' buttons are ok.
Simple Change Sorter does not exhibit this behaviour and so far nothing else has either.
Cheers,
Rob.
