- Hey all.
-
- There is one aspect of the WPS that I really feel is
- counter productive. I would like to hear some opinions
- from others in the net about this idea.
-
- I feel that when an icon is selected with mouse button 2
- with the intent of dragging it (moving, copying, shadowing,
- or drag-n-dropping), the folder which contains that object
- should NOT become the foreground window. I has become very
- frustrating to find the object you are looking for, and when
- you go to drag it to another folder, its folder comes to the
- foreground and covers up the intended destination for your
- object.
-
- If I remember correctly, the 6.304 beta of OS/2 2.0 last
- spring had this exact feature in it. I do not know how much
- code would have to be rewritten to change this, but I would
- like to pursue this matter with IBM. Does anyone know who or
- where to contact about such a feature change? I doubt they
- will take it as a bug report.
-
- Ken.
