for? My understanding is that when an event causes a jump to an event
landing, event monitoring is stopped at that point until you start it
again. What exactly does "Stop Event Monitoring" do, and when would
one use it?
When will tech writers figure out that it's worse than a waste of
space to document a widget by saying "this is a widget - use it when
you need a widget"?
