Not a bad thought, but a bit complex. I think I'll just go with thinking of
new releases as 'unstable', and once they've been out for a while without
complaint, move them to the 'stable' category.

I'm still scratching my head over the bugs that Judith encountered (I've had
no time to do any testing, and won't likely until Monday); I didn't *think*
that I did anything that dangerous in the code, or I obviously wouldn't have
released it in that state. My general impression was that with the bug
fixes, it should have been *more* stable than the prior release.

Judith - there are only two things I can thing of off the top of my head
that might be at fault. The first is the added mouse traps in subclassed() -
you might want to try commenting that section out and seeing if that takes
care of the problem. If it's not that, then perhaps pushSelf/popSelf are to
blame. You could dummy them out like so:

   procedure pushSelf( integer id )
   end procedure

   function popSelf()
      return 0
   end function

and see if they are to blame. Even better, you could send me some erring
code - it would be a great help.

On an unrelated note, has anyone gotten tooltip to work for general
controls? I could create the tooltip control and register tooltips with
controls, but nothing popped up. The only thing that I could figure was that
I was supposed to be sending events to the Tooltip. If that was the case, I
decided it would be much easier to simply emulate them than to use the
common controls. I'm equally unhappy with the Toolbar and Status Bar - for
tha amount of code that it takes to get the controls to work, I could just
as easily render them myself - witness the emulated toolbar in design.exw.

Thanks!
