That suggests that 4.70a11 isn't getting the pointer entering event,
which might happen if something is blocking it. However that 'something'
should prevent 4.69f9 from working too.

Still, it might be useful to check for any Wimp filters that monitor the
pointer entering event, perhaps a focus-follows-mouse utility.

You could use WimpMon to see if pointer entering events are being sent
to 4.70a11. If they're not then we know the problem, else more digging
is needed.

I've used TaskUsage to test 4.70a11 and found one minor issue. In some
circumstances the pointer leaving event isn't turned off. Generally it
seemed fine though, not sign of 'your' issues.

There is code in 4.70a11 to control the initial size of the LoW but it
still has some issues. You should be able to make it larger by closing
and then opening it again.

Cheers,
Fred.
