First: you forgot to mention the RHIDE version. I'm sure is 1.4. Don't forget 
there are a beta v1.4.6.

That's because you are not using projects. The support for compilation 
without using projects is poorly tested (Robert never uses it). In fact 1.4 
have a bug that works like this:

If you create default settings (rhide.g* files) the Run is grayed.

Just use projects and all will work OK.

I think you have 2 files with the same name located in some special 
directories. Each time RHIDE calls an external program saves the files under 
edition and after running the program checks if the file was modified and 
reloads it. I think that's what you call "itself". But don't know what 
exactly are you doing.

1) is very common, the mouse problems seems to be related to some 
combinations of video board + mouse driver, in my system it never happends.
About 2: Try to pay attention when it happends and report it to Robert.
I think 1.4.6 is currently more stable than 1.4, but you should check it.
