If the texts with magenta outlines are menus, why does the mouse cursor not turn into a menu pointer over them?
This is the down side of the design decision to show menu text as HTML text, rather than in the more conventional menu formats. The up side of this decision is that menu text is much clearer than in a conventional menu, and that menus can show subscripts, superscripts, Greek characters, and mathematical symbols. You can even mark text in the menus by dragging the mouse pointer over it, whereupon right-clicking reveals options that may be useful. You can click anywhere in an area outlined in magenta. The background changes when the mouse passes over such an area, to point out this fact. Also, following the usual convention, The Universal Units Calculator shows on the Status Line (on the bottom frame) the effect, if any, of clicking the mouse at its current location. You can click on the text (where the cursor takes its text-editing form), or in the space (where the cursor takes its pointing form). The Universal Units Calculator will correctly select the item in either case. Back to Tabl
