This is a case of not getting the expected events during an active button grab. But why? The scenario: user presses on button window B to pop up menu window M. The pointer is now grabbed by B with owner-events False. The event masks of both B and M have previously been set to select for EnterWindow. Therefore, when the user moves the pointer (with the pointer button still pressed) off B and onto M, an EnterWindow event should be reported to B, i.e. as a result of entering M. But it isn't. Why?
