Why would anything like that affect v4.70 and not v4.69?

I killed many modules, and am left with just:

Filters called on entry to Wimp_Poll:
Filter              Task                    
------              ----                    
tbox_pre            WimpMon                 
TaskUsage           All tasks               
ColourFiler         Filer                   

Filters called on exit from Wimp_Poll:
Filter              Task                    Mask
------              ----                    ----    
EventMonitor        TaskWindow              00000001
EventMonitor        StrongED                00000001
tbox_post           WimpMon                 00000000
KeyExt              All tasks               FFFFFEFF
TaskUsage           All tasks               00000000
ColourFiler         Filer                   00083973

Using WimpMon & SE4.70, it shows LoW causes event Pointer Entering but
not Leaving, and LoF shows both. After moving the mouse over the LoF
window clicks on the LoW work, but no difference in the Pointer events
logged.

It was no problem - I am just trying to report all differences I see!
