Greetings everybody;
Something just now got my attention as I was moving the mouse, and it explains perfectly all the trouble I've ever had keeping it configured. It would suddenly start keeping sent mail in some random folder intended for incoming, or it would change the mail transport, or the default dictionary, this despite the 4 sticky boxes all being checked.
A. There are no wheel clickers in modern mice.
B. because of this, its extremely difficult to move the mouse about the screen without also causing the wheel to move however minutely.
C. Stopping the pointer above one of the header lines and scrolling the wheel, scrolls it thru all the selections available for that particular line (sent-mail, dictionary, mail transport etc) and when the mouse has moved on, without a click, the option remains selected.
IMO this is a bug, a big PITA bug. IMO to change that stuff, one should first have to uncheck the sticky box, make your selection and lock it again with a sticky box checkmark.
Can this be looked at? Please?
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi Gene,
What mouse settings do you use? Here, stopping the pointer above a menu does not do anything but highlight it. Scolling the wheel does nothing, only clicking. Scrolling the wheel while the pointer is on the header of a clicked menu closes it.
I did not change anything to the mouse settings except set-up single click.

Which I've never done. Other than that, I think its all at the defaults.
I don't believe its mouse related, but something in the message composer thats responding when it shouldn't. checking the sticky box ought to make its options like that immutable, but it ignores the sticky thing entirely.
