Text lines can get superimposed too. It's not a Amaya problem, but a X problem. You can check in the code, the Amaya role is limited to react at each X event. If your window manager keeps events or your X server omits to send them, Amaya cannot work fine. That was confirmed by people who mentioned double-click problems and explained that Amaya worked fine as soon as they changed their window manager. > After seeing your reply and a few others (many thanks for the help) it > seems that this is a real problem and one which has been on-going for some > time.

I guess you didn't follow instructions to build Amaya. You didn't create the target directory obj and you didn't go into this directory to start ../configure. > It occurred to me to suggest to the developers (via this list) to adopt a > <right-click> to follow a link and a <left-click> to edit, that is if the > developers are unable to track this problem down.

We're considering the possibility to navigate with simple-clicks in the next Amaya release. Irene.
