- I have had problems with 1.1 on X11R5. These problems went away with 1.2.
-
- Admittedly, some of these problems were related to the Berkeley version of
- the portable C compiler's well known pop-order bug and libXt, but some were
- decidedly bad interactions.
-
- Are you direct widget-level programming in Motif, or are you using UIL/an
- app generator/standard applications?
-
- I also saw problems with menus not coming active unless you let go of the
- button popping up the menu, then quickly pressed it again (not in the menu
- area) to get the menu selection bar to follow the mouse.
