- If your focus policy is explicit, try the following:
-
- in file /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Vuewm add:
- Vuewm*passSelectButton: False
-
- Then see if you can still reproduce the problem.
-
- Hpterm seems to have a problem with certain corner case cut operations.
- You can inadvertently do one of these operations by clicking on the
- body of the window to give it the focus. If the select button event
- is passed to hpterm it can look like a cut operation:
- (button down - move mouse - button up).
- The failure is typically very difficult to reproduce since it seems
- to result from some random movement of the mouse before the button
- is released. If this is the problem you are seeing setting
- passSelectButton to false should avoid the failure.
