Dear all I noticed that since at least vers. 4.2rc2 the "pause mouse" command no longer works as expected: "ok" and "cancel" buttons are not displayed and there is actually no way to dimiss the dialog window. Is this a bug or a feature? cheers Davide |

There should be no separate dialog window, because termination of the pause is explicitly a mouse or keyboard event in the plot window. I assume this is some MSWin idiocy? There should be no new windows generated as a result of typing "pause mouse". -- Ethan A Merritt Courier Deliveries: 1959 NE Pacific Dept of Biochemistry M/S 357742 Health Sciences Building University of Washington - Seattle |

Is this a bug or a feature? It is a feature: you really need to click the mouse. Well, but there is still an unimplemented feature on "set term win": pause mouse key pause mouse any does not work. --- PM |

On Windows, there was always a window. On OS/2, you can configure whether you want the "x11" way, or a window, or a titlebar message. --- PM |

I've just tried the 4.0 Windows version. It's broken. So "pause mouse" was not usable in 4.0 either, and this bug report is not quite correct. It's not a regression, since it never did work. Why did no one ever file this as a bug report? Do we have no Windows users? It should have been reported and fixed long ago. Now it's probably too late for 4.2 -- Ethan A Merritt Courier Deliveries: 1959 NE Pacific Dept of Biochemistry M/S 357742 Health Sciences Building University of Washington - Seattle |

That makes some sense for "pause -1", But it makes no sense at all for "pause mouse" or "pause key". Can we get rid of it? -- Ethan A Merritt Courier Deliveries: 1959 NE Pacific Dept of Biochemistry M/S 357742 Health Sciences Building University of Washington - Seattle |

I think that nobody will, as wgnuplot does not have stdout, so that reading the clicked point coordinates by e.g. Octave makes no sense. > It should have been reported and fixed long ago. > Now it's probably too late for 4.2 The patch to could be trivial.

Well, even if I click the mouse the window still stays there...

In version 4.0 (Win32) "pause mouse" puts a window on the screen with "ok" and "cancel" buttons, similarly to "pause -1". I was assuming this was the correct behaviour. Since version 4.1 the buttons are no longer there and the window cannot be dismissed. Clicking the mouse has no effect at all. Since this seems to be a Win32-specific issue, I think that for the moment I will stick with "pause -1", which actually does what I need. Davide |

It was trivial, see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102055&aid=1651350&group_id=2055 I think it can go to 4.2 and cvs. --- PM |
