[perl-win32-gui-users] Re: [perl-win32-gui-hackers] additional fix for cursors

[Glenn L. <pe...@ne...>]

Excellant.  I had noticed the resize cursor persisted until the mouse 
pointer got to a "real" sub object inside the main window... annoying 
but not (to me) as annoying as not having the resize cursors at all, and 
not a problem on windows that are filled with sub objects.  But this fix 
does the trick.

Thanks, Steve.  I've applied it to my version, and I'll be sure to 
coordinate with Laurent to get all my fixes into the bug-fix branch.

Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it
offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick.  It's ridiculous.

And here is why it is ridiculous:
  The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26 
  billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more 
investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of 
reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs 
and security problems?  Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. 
WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
