- Good day all netters
-
- We'd _really_ appreciate any help.
-
- We are experiencing a problem with our VAXstation 3100 Model 76
- workstations running DECwindows Motif V1.0 and VMS V5.5-1. Sometimes,
- when we resize a window, the window dissappears and the underlying
- process dies. We have managed to recreate the problem ( virtually
- without fail ) by inverting a DECterm window, ie resizing the window
- to a negative size by moving the bottom horizontal edge past the top of
- the top horizontal edge. This impossible resizing does not work ( to be
- expected ), but the DECterm process dies with the exact same message
- that we get _sometimes_ when the window dissapppears after doing only a
- normal valid resizing of the window. The DECTERM_ERROR.LOG file contains
- the following message:
-
- DECterm version V3.0 error occurred on Tue Nov 3 11:04:42 1992
