Re: [AD] Proposal for new magic main (2)

[xaviergonz@xxxxxxxxxx]

Oh wait, we are breaking compability in 4.1 series?
Can we then disable the three mouse button emulation by default?

Sorry if I'm being so repetitive, but since I discovered it, it just drives
me nuts that by default my two buttons mouse doesnt  have both buttons
pressed,
but a third non-existant one =)

I know this probably can be turned off with a cfg file, but I see this as
something that
can be very confusing to allegro newcomers, and somehow ilogical...

Don't worry, I'll stop making this proposal if it is not accepted =)
