 Hi all,

It seems that some time between versions 22.1.1 and 23.2.1, dragging the 
vertical-line stopped working. Dragging it to the right brings up the 
menu buffer, dragging to the left just places point at EOL of the 
left-side window.

Incidentally, in X11 mode both versions of emacs only allow dragging the 
vertical-line if scrollbars are disabled. This is rather odd, since you 
have to drag the right gutter of the left-side window, and that's 
visible even with scrollbars enabled.

Regards,
Ryan

I am afraid I cannot reproduce either bug.  (For the latter, I tried
using a GTK build).  Dragging the vertical line has the usual effect of
resizing the window.

Did you try this with a text terminal or only GUI versions? It's xterm's 
mouse handling that gave the problem.

FWIW, I'm using a cygwin-x11 build of emacs on XP pro. I wouldn't think 
that would matter when running inside an xterm, though.

I tried the first bug in an xterm with xterm-mouse-mode enabled, and the
second by running Emacs under X as usual.
