No, this was an error in the installation commands.  Fixed in CVS
(Makefile.in).

This seems like something it would be better if Apple fixed, since it 
affects all applications.  Have you reported it to them?  It could be
added to Emacs.app pretty easily I think, though right now priorities
are on bug-fixing and code cleanup.

Emacs.app follows emacs interfaces on other platforms here.  It is possible
that adding a configurable option as you suggest would be acceptable.  Do you
know if it is the plain Carbon Emacs that has this behavior, or is it only in
the distributions (Carbon Emacs Package, Aquamacs, etc.)?

True.  When "ns-extended-platform-support-mode" is enabled, this issue is
fixed.  (This mode may be removed from emacs CVS soon though.)


Thanks for your feedback!
