(remember_mouse_glyph): New function. (w32_mouse_position): Use it. (note_mouse_movement): If the mouse moved off the glyph, remember its new position. Sync with xterm.c: (notice_overwritten_cursor): Renamed from note_overwritten_text_cursor. Rewritten to take glyph widths into account. (x_y_to_hpos_vpos): Add parameter BUFFER_ONLY_P. (fast_find_string_pos): New function. (fast_find_position): Return the correct vpos. Add parameter STOP. In the final row, stop before glyphs having STOP as object. Don't consider glyphs that are not from a buffer. (fast_find_position) [0]: Add a presumably more correct version for after 21.1. (expose_window_tree, expose_frame): Don't compute intersections here. (expose_window): Do it here instead. (expose_window_tree, expose_window, expose_line): Return 1 when overwriting mouse-face. (expose_window): If W is the window currently being updated, mark the frame garbaged. (expose_frame): If mouse-face was overwritten, redo it. (x_use_underline_position_properties): New variable. (syms_of_xterm): DEFVAR_BOOL it. (x_draw_glyph_string): Add comment to use it in future. (x_draw_glyph_string): Restore clipping after drawing box. Fix a computation of the underline position. (w32_get_glyph_string_clip_rect): Minor cleanup. (x_fill_stretch_glyph_string): Remove an assertion. (x_produce_glyphs): Don't convert multibyte characters to unibyte characters in unibyte buffers. (cursor_in_mouse_face_p): New function. (x_draw_stretch_glyph_string): Use it to choose a different GC when drawing a cursor within highlighted text. Don't draw background again if it has already been drawn. (x_draw_glyph_string_box): Don't draw a full-width box just because the glyph row's full_width_p flag is set. (x_draw_glyphs): Fix computation of rightmost x for full-width rows. (x_dump_glyph_string): Put in #if GLYPH_DEBUG. (w32_draw_relief_rect): Extend left shadow to the bottom and left; change bottom shadow accordingly. Some cleanup. (x_update_window_end): Handle overwritten mouse face also for tool bar windows. (show_mouse_face): Set the glyph row's mouse_face_p flag also when DRAW is DRAW_IMAGE_RAISED. (clear_mouse_face): Return 1 if text with mouse face was actually redrawn. Make the function static. Reset dpyinfo->mouse_face_overlay otherwise note_mouse_highlight might optimize away highlighting if we pass over that same overlay again. (note_mouse_highlight): Call mouse_face_overlay_overlaps to detect a case where we have to highlight a different region despite not having left the currently highlighted region. Set mouse_face_overlay in the x_display_info. Avoid changing the mouse pointer shape when show_mouse_face has already done it, or there is no need. Handle mouse-face and help-echo in strings. (glyph_rect): New function. (w32_mouse_position): Use it to raise the threshold for mouse movement event generation. (w32_initialize_display_info): Initialize the x_display_info's mouse_face_overlay. (w32_set_vertical_scroll_bar): Don't clear a zero height or width area. (w32_set_vertical_scroll_bar, x_scroll_bar_create): Don't configure a widget to zero height.

	   Protect Your Freedom to Write Programs
	   Join the League for Programming Freedom
	       (Version of February 3, 1994)

Ten years ago, programmers were allowed to write programs using all
the techniques they knew, and providing whatever features they felt
were useful.  This is no longer the case.  New monopolies, known as
software patents and interface copyrights, have taken away our freedom
of expression and our ability to do a good job.

"Look and feel" lawsuits attempt to monopolize well-known command
languages; some have succeeded.  Copyrights on command languages
enforce gratuitous incompatibility, close opportunities for
competition, and stifle incremental improvements.

Software patents are even more dangerous; they make every design
decision in the development of a program carry a risk of a lawsuit,
with draconian pretrial seizure.  It is difficult and expensive to
find out whether the techniques you consider using are patented; it is
impossible to find out whether they will be patented in the future.

The League for Programming Freedom is a grass-roots organization of
professors, students, businessmen, programmers and users dedicated to
bringing back the freedom to write programs.  The League is not
opposed to the legal system that Congress expressly established for
software--copyright on individual programs.  Our aim is to reverse the
recent changes that prevent programmers from doing their work.

The League works to abolish the new monopolies by publishing articles,
talking with public officials, denouncing egregious offenders, and
filing amicus curiae briefs, most notably against Lotus in its suit
against Borland.  We testified twice at the recent Patent Office
hearings on software patents.  We welcome suggestions for other
activities, as well as help in carrying them out.

Membership dues in the League are $42 per year for programmers,
managers and professionals; $10.50 for students; $21 for others.
Please give more if you can.  The League's funds will be used for
filing briefs; for printing handouts, buttons and signs; whatever will
persuade the courts, the legislators, and the people.  You may not get
anything personally for your dues--except for the freedom to write
programs.  The League is a non-profit corporation, but not considered
a tax-exempt charity.  However, for those self-employed in software,
the dues can be a business expense.

The League needs both activist members and members who only pay their
dues.  We also greatly need additional corporate members; contact us
for information.

If you have any questions, please write to the League, phone
[phone], or send Internet mail to [e-mail].

The corporate charter of the League for Programming Freedom states:

    The purpose of the corporation is to engage in the following
    activities:

    1. To determine the existence of, and warn the public about
    restrictions and monopolies on classes of computer programs where such
    monopolies prevent or restrict the right to develop certain types of
    computer programs.

    2. To develop countermeasures and initiatives, in the public interest,
    effective to block or otherwise prevent or restrain such monopolistic
    activities including education, research, publications, public
    assembly, legislative testimony, and intervention in court proceedings
    involving public interest issues (as a friend of the court).

    3. To engage in any business or other activity in service of and
    related to the foregoing paragraphs that lawfully may be carried on
    by a corporation organized under Chapter 180 of the Massachusetts
    General Laws.

The officers and directors of the League will be elected annually by
the members.
