:-) So true!   My mistake was simply that I applied the "Windowism"
(behaviour of Windows) to other platforms. This is bad practice, but I
guess something that occurs often because my Windows programming
experience (10+ years) is still far more than Linux (4+ years). FPC
makes it so easy to switch between platforms, but I must still keep in
mind that there ARE difference between platforms. A lesson to all! :)
