Sorry, that didn't work. There still is a menu bar with just the help men=
u=20
in it in KDE 3.0.5a if you activate "Menu bar on top of screen like in=20
MacOS".

If the selection window does not fit the kmag window, only the middle par=
t=20
is shown in the kmag window. This is a problem if the mouse is outside of=
=20
the middle, because the shown content does not follow the mouse to the=20
edge of the screen.

The selection window. But it would be OK if you fix this perceived "bug"=20
by making sure the area around the mouse pointer is always shown in the=20
kmag window. Don't show the middle part of the selection window, better=20
strictly follow the mouse.

I agree with you.

A config option with a default for autosizing the selection window would=20
be nice, but we do not need it urgently for the first kdeaccessibility=20
release (especially since we aimed for string freeze for today).

But IMHO the menubar and the screen edge issue should both be fixed befor=
e=20
the release.
