Ah, so LCL win32 interface does exactly what fpGUI under Windows does. :-)

I read my previous email again, and I was really unclear. ;-)  I
didn't mean counting messages, I meant looking if the coordinates
actually changed compared to the previous mouse move message. LCL and
fpGUI does the same in this case.

PS:
I did a search for "spurious WM_MOUSEMOVE message" as you suggested.
Talk about code duplication!!  Or was that by design?
win32callback.inc and wincecallback.inc  have a LOT of identical code!
 Not the best design to be honest.

To see what I mean do the following.
  1. Open the wincecallback.inc and place the top line of the editor
on line 1499.
  2. In a new tab, open the win32callback.inc and place the top line
of the editor on line 1761.
  3. Now switch between these two files/tabs.  The code is copied
line-by-line, it's as if you are viewing the same file!  :-(
