My computer went up a few days ago and had to reinstall everything and lost 
about 3 weeks worth of emails.  If you look back over the last week or so, 
you'll see a post that I made about this problem.  I think someone (sorry I can 
remember exactly who) may have pointed me to a bug report concerning the 
SetCapture method in LCL.

As a side note, can anyone tell me where the recent archives are hosted?  I 
tried googling, but only came up with older messages.

BTW, in Delphi the behavior that I mentioned above is present.  Which made it a 
simple task to create custom buttons.  With the current behavior of Lazarus, it 
leave custom buttons made like this in a "visually down" state.
