you may or may not have noticed how selecting text in Pe with the mouse in
Haiku is lagging badly. This is how Pe tracks the mouse:
unsigned long buttons;
GetMouse(&cur, &buttons);
while (buttons)

snooze(20000);
GetMouse(&cur, &buttons);
}
I don't see the need for polling the mouse in a similar situation. Can't it just wait for the next MouseMoved event and check for buttons at that time?
I remember when I tested AtomoCAD in Haiku some time ago, and I noticed how it (Haiku) did not implement SetMouseEventMask(B_NO_POINTER_HISTORY). Has this been fixed since? It's the preferred way to do things like that.
