- This feels like a FAQ, but I didn't find it in the list.
-
- Motif causes some popup windows to grab all events when they are active.
- For example, the standard PulldownMenu does this.
-
- When one is debugging the program and it comes to a breakpoint with the
- menu active, a deadlock occurs. The program is stopped, so the menu items
- cannot be selected, but the program can't be resumed, because the window
- running the debugger can't get any events.
-
- There must be a standard solution to this problem. What is it?
