Don't know, just clutching at straws here.

That makes sense. If the event isn't enabled (as TaskUsage showed) then
it won't be received.

The main difference between LoF and LoW/throwback is that LoF will be
given input focus when created using the keyboard (F2 or cs-F).

What happens if you start 4.70a11, load a BASIC file and then click on
the 'List functions and procedures' icon [1] on the toolbar?
In this case the LoF doesn't get input focus so it may not work now.

Another thing to try is to generate some throwback. Then open a StrongED
view and press cs-F8 to give the throwback window focus. Does that make
it work?

4.69f9 only has one menuline (the highlight that follows the mouse
and/or cursor up/down). 4.70a11 has two, one for the mouse and another
for the keyboard). When a window has both input focus and pointer over
it then only one menuline is shown but it can be controlled by both.

For some reason 4.70a11 is not detecting if the mouse is over LoW or
throwback so no menuline is ever activated and StrongED doesn't know
what the active line is. LoF works because it's given the input focus
and so there is a menuline. The problem is finding out why this happens.

[1] This is the icon just to the right of the small divide between the
BaseMode and mode specific icons on the toolbar.

I know, I was just explaining _why_ you're seeing a difference. :-)

Cheers,
