    Isn't that the point?

    How do you know that mouse movements are handled ASAP ? I see no
indication of that in disassembly code!
    In BWindow's current implementation, messages are dispatched in the
order they arrive! That is why I've suggested adding those 4 bytes, so that
the state of modifies won't be different when handling B_MOUSE_MOVED
message!


    I will do it as you guys say!, but I still remain convinced that adding
those 4 bytes will have no effect on performance!
