Description Michael Ottati 2001-08-28 00:37:19 UTC
As of this mornings CVS update, the menu system appears to be quite broken. 
Menus can be pulled down but none of the individual items on the menu allow for 
selection. THis effectively makes the IDE unusable until you realize that some 
of normal mouse functionality can be accomplished with the arrow keys.

A simple example of the broken mouse support can be seen by attempting to 
either mount or unmount a file system. The menus to do this can be accessed but 
selecting the actual action does not work.

The CVS checkout time of the kit that fails is: 

    08/27/01 09:00 PDT (2001.08.27-16:02:56GMT)

A compiled kit that exhibits the error may be obtained at:
