Windows UI eats mouse events

[fireundubh]

The Windows UI seems to be eating mouse events.

Case 1:

1. Click column heading to sort. Success.
2. Click column heading to sort again. Failure.

Case 2:

1. Click Edit>Preferences to open Preferences.
2. Click OK. Failure.
3. Click OK. Success. Maybe.

This behavior started happening recently with v1.3.9, I think. I may have had v1.3.7 or v1.3.8 installed. In any case, I updated to v1.3.11 in hopes that the issue would be resolved but that was not the case.

I propose that the UI is eating clicks for two reasons, in addition to the observed behavior above:

1. I can select UI elements with the mouse and then use the keyboard to, for example, activate a column header. There is no issue here. The UI does not eat key events.

2. I searched for "gtk eats mouse clicks" on the web and found this result:

​http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/sushivision/gtksucks.c

The author suggests that insensitive GTK widgets (except children of viewports) eat mouse events.

Then it's a GTK issue on Windows. We rely on binary GTK releases but since there are no more being built for Windows there is little we can do.
