ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DECwindows Motif V1.1 on OpenVMS Alpha. This
kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in the AXPMOTF05_011 Kit:
Console Window Problems:
o This kit includes support for a new DECwindows Motif application, the
Console Window, which shares the same executable as the Message
Window. By default the Console Window does not start and broadcasts
are disabled to OPA0:. If you enable the Console Window then when
DECwindows starts up the Console Window application will appear in the
lower right corner of your login screen, and will remain on the screen
after you log in. Console broadcasts will be displayed in this window.
To start the Console Window or to enable OPA0: broadcasts, edit the
file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM (if it doesn't exist,
create it from SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE) and
define the global symbol DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION. The default value of
the symbol is "DISABLE". Set it to "WINDOW" to allow the Console
Window to start, or to "ENABLE" to allow broadcasts to OPA0: to be
displayed in the 6-line operator window. After editing the setup
file, restart DECwindows with the command "@SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP
RESTART".
Because of problems in the console device driver that can't easily be
addressed, we recommend that you do not set DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION to
"ENABLE". Either display console broadcasts in the Console Window
application by setting DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION to "WINDOW" or disable
them altogether by setting DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION to its default value
of "DISABLE".
However, if you have enabled an alternate console on your workstation
then DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION will be ignored and console broadcasts
will be enabled to the alternate console.
The Console Window can be customized by editing the resource file
DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$CONSOLE.DAT. Both the Console Window and the
Message Window use a fixed width font for improved readability, but for
users to pick up the new font in the Message Window they'll have to
delete their DECW$USER_DEFAULTS: versions of DECW$MESSAGEPANEL.DAT.
Login Problems:
o Remote logins sometimes fail when the server and client are running
different versions of OpenVMS, and if the DECW$LOGIN.LOG file is
enabled the error message "[_XDispatchEvent - entered in reply state]"
is written to the log file.
o There is a problem with "detached login failure" being periodically
broadcast to the console after an unsuccessful login attempt. This is
because the DECW$LOGINOUT process is restarting after it exits, even
if the NORESTART flag is set in its the WSA device, and because WSA
devices are not being deleted. DECW$LOGINOUT will not restart if the
NORESTART flag is set, and it will delete WSA devices when they are no
longer needed. To prevent DECW$LOGINOUT from deleting its WSA device
before exiting, define the logical name DECW$LOGIN_PRESERVE_WSA in
LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE with a value of TRUE.
Message Window Problems:
o The message window periodically resets itself, blanking out any text
in the window and resetting the scroll bar to the top. This is likely
to happen when a new broadcast is sent to it. Sometimes the
broadcasts are visible, but often all that is seen is blank space.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o On OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 systems, the system will hang if a user exits
out of the Message Window without ending the session and then receives
a broadcast message.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
Clock Problems:
o Clock fails to start up when displaying to an X11 display server that
has a V1.2-format locale set, e.g. en_US.ISO8859-1. Before exiting,
Clock displays the error message "Can't open locale". The remedial
kit corrects this problem by converting the V1.2-format locale to a
V1.1-format locale, such as en_US.
DECimage Application Services (DAS) Problems:
o The version of DAS (IMG$SHRLIB.EXE) provided in this remedial kit is
based on DAS V3.2+, which is the version that was shipped with
DECwindows Motif V1.2-3. In addition, the remedial kit fixes problems
that were introduced in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 and fixed in
AXPMOTF05_U3012.
DXm library Problems:
o A memory leak which occurs when calling MrmFetchWidget() followed by
XtDestroyWidget() in a loop. This happens with CSText widgets with
WordWrap set to True.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o A memory leak in the SVN widget.
SVN Problems:
o Several problems with SVN widgets were corrected involving traversal,
display (particularly widget component children), and miscellaneous
crashes.
o CSText scrolling when Right to Left direction is selected and a
segment splits exactly at the end of the line.
o CSText will hang if more than three lines of TAB characters are typed.
Xm library Problems:
o A memory leak can occur when using the XmTextField widget.
o When using DECchart Edit and pasting, an access violation occurs.
o Notepad becomes compute bound after the user modifies a file and
selects "Save" from the File menu, because of a problem in the XmText
widget.
o Insensitive pixmaps on labels are not displayed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o An XmList widget will flicker when it is updated with calls to
XmListReplaceItemsPos() in rapid succession.
o XmList widgets are not displayed correctly in a Right to Left
direction.
o Fixes an Xm toolkit access violation problem which was introduced in
the MOTAVECO05113 patch kit.
o ORACLE[R] applications can terminate with an access violation due to
traversal problems.
o There is a memory leak when popup menus are destroyed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o There is a memory leak problem which can occur when fetching and
destroying a menu bar.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o An application program can abnormally terminate with an X Protocol
error (BadDrawable in an XGetGeometry request) if XmPIXMAP is
specified as the XmNlabelType of an XmToggleButton.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
Xt Intrinsics library Problems:
o _XtWaitForSomething fails to read the current time.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
Xlib Problems:
o Running on Alpha systems, user mode ASTs may be enabled by Xlib even
if the application disables them.
Note that earlier versions of the remedial kit introduced new problems
in the process of fixing this one.
This problem will be corrected in the next version of DECwindows Motif
after V1.2-3.
Session Manager and FileView Problems:
o Autostarting numerous DECterms on a fast CPU system can result in not
all DECterms starting or can cause the Session Manager to crash. This
is because each of the CREATE/TERMINAL commands is run in a subprocess
of the Session Manager, and all the subprocesses share the same page
file quota with the Session Manager process. Once the page file quota
is used up, the next process will die because of lack of virtual
memory.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o The Session Manager can ACCVIO when it is trying to deal with the
DXmCSText widget. This problem can arise under different
circumstances ranging from when the user is cutting and pasting text
between windows to application startup.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o While running on a dual headed system in a large LAVC cluster, when
the WSA device count increases over 100 (i.e. WSA100:), applications
do not start through AutoStart. The Work-In-Progress window displays:
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
-SHOW-W-OPENIN, error opening DECW$DISPLAY as input
VUE$COMMAND = "DEFINE/NOLOG DECW$DISPLAY _WSA10"
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
-SHOW-W-OPENIN, error opening _WSA10 as input
%DECW-E-CANT_OPEN_DISPL, Can't open display
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o While running on fast CPU systems with FileView as a client, there is
an intermittent problem where the user cannot use the FileView Command
Menu verbs (any of them - Compare, Copy, Rename, etc.). After using
the verb a few times, the Verb Dialog fails to appear. A process
appears active in the Work In Progress Box, but the Verb Dialog is not
viewable.
Sometimes selecting the verb from the menu again or reselecting it
several times will bring the Verb Dialog up, but each successive
attempt produces more and more active processes, as show in the Work
In Progress window.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
o On some monitors, application windows are clipped, i.e. the windows are
too large to fit on the screen. To fix this problem, the kit defines
the following resource in DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$SMB_WINDOW.DAT,
so that it will affect all applications:
*DXmfitToScreenPolicy: AS_NEEDED
Defining this resource causes the Motif toolkit to put scroll bars on
any window that will not fit on the screen.
o FileView can terminate with an ACCVIO when the user does a 'quick
copy' (MB2) of text between two EDT editors in the DCL Command window.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o FileView can terminate with an ACCVIO when the user enters long
strings of text into an auxiliary text widget, such as the String
field in the Search dialog box.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2
DECterm Problems:
o Every time any character is displayed on a line and a non-default
color has been selected for the foreground or background, the entire
line will be redrawn. This results in very slow screen paints and
refreshes.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm will die with an ACCVIO when displaying 8-bit text in ReGIS,
i.e. ASCII codes 160 to 255. This problem was introduced in
VAXMOTF02_011 (CSCPAT_1090 V1.7).
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Problems Addressed in the AXPMOTF01_011 Kit:
Session Manager and FileView Problems:
o While running on a system with a fast CPU, such as a VS4000-90,
applications occasionally fail to start up. The error message "Device
not ready" is displayed in the Work in Progress box.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o FileView and the Session Manager can crash due to memory and profile
file corruption problems.
Several different problems would cause FileView to die with an access
violation or reserved operand fault:
1. A profile file corruption, caused by processing in the print
dialog box.
2. A memory corruption, which occurs when a user defines several
items with a length greater than 15 characters in a menu.
3. A memory corruption caused by having multiple "........"
separators in a menu.
4. An ACCVIO caused by auxiliary input to FileView commands. For
example, when a user used the FileView "Copy" command, the "to"
destination is the auxiliary input; intermixing this form of
dialog box with dialogs without auxiliary inputs (example:
"purge") could cause the ACCVIO.
These problems are corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o In some cases, the exception handler, which writes traceback
information to the DECW$SM.LOG file, dies with an access violation
during exception handling.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o If DECW$ENDSESSION is run as a standalone program, instead of from the
Session Manager, and a user clicks on Help in the confirmation box,
Help is not displayed and instead an error message is written to
SYS$OUTPUT.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
5.1.4.2 CLDs, SPRs, and QARs reporting this problem:
5.1.4.2.1 CLD(s): None.
5.1.4.2.2 SPR(s): None.
5.1.4.2.3 QAR(s): DECW-SSB #844
Message Window Problems:
o The Message Window buffers incoming messages before displaying them,
which degrades performance.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
DECterm Problems:
o DECterm windows were not being created.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2. The DECterm
startup mechanism has been re-designed and is more reliable.
o DECterm displays a username prompt if the user strikes the return key
before the process running in the DECterm window is ready.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm positions its window off of the screen when the initial number
of rows is too large.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm leaves the display scrolled by one line, as if the up-arrow
key has been hit in the scroll bar region, when it scrolls the window
in response to user input with vertical cursor coupling enabled.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm sends a secondary ID device code of 55 instead of the correct
code of 28 in response to a DA (device attributes) request.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm has a problem with national keyboards, setting group GR to 1.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm displayed reverse ANSI color text incorrectly.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o A VT52 cursor positioning problem was introduced in DECwindows Motif
V1.0.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o This kit provides limited support for the ReGIS input cursor.
This support is also included in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Some ReGIS files are displayed upside down.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There are several problem with DECterm's Sixel support that either
cause DECterm to crash or to display the file incorrectly.
These problems are corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The comma key sends either ",," or "<," regardless of the keyboard
type.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The <X] key is reset to delete after using TPU.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o This kit provides support for treating F1 to F5 as normal function
keys, as on the VT420.
The enhanced function key support must be enabled with an escape
sequence:
CSI fkey ; function * }
There can be several fkey ; function pairs. Fkey and function are
decimal numbers with the following values:
fkey meaning
0 change F1 to F5
1 change F1
2 change F2
3 change F3
4 change F4
NOTE: On the VT420 F5 can only be changed through the user
interface for security reasons, since F5 is used as
the break key.
function meaning
0 factory default (equivalent to 1)
1 local function (e.g. F1 is Hold Screen)
2 send escape sequence or UDK
3 disable the key
Escape sequences and UDKs follow the same pattern as for F6 - F20,
e.g. the escape sequence when the user presses F1 is CSI 11 ~.
This support is also provided in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o In this kit, DECterm uses a pre-determined file name when printing to
a queue and then deletes this file. The user no longer needs to
supply a file name in the text field next to the "File" printing
destination.
This support is also provided in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o DECterm windows disappear when executing a command which results in
non-national characters being printed to the screen and "Print
National Characters Only" has been selected.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There is a problem with Copy and Paste when one DECterm window is
occluded by another.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There are several problems with Copy and Paste in DECterm. DECterm's
Copy and Paste support has been redesigned in this kit, and in
DECwindows Motif V1.2, to make it more robust.
o DECterm overrides user-supplied icon bitmaps, and sets the icon size
incorrectly if a non-standard size is chosen.
These problems are corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2. DECterm will
no longer override user-supplied icon bitmaps as long as the icon size
isn't changed.
DECwindows Mail Problems:
o Mail frequently crashed due to memory corruption problems.
These problems are corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Mail will go into a loop when mail is sent to a logical name with a
recursive definition.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xlib Problems:
o Xlib will free the WSA device used in an XOpenDisplay call as soon as
the display has been open. This means that if the process that created
the WSA device exits the device will be deleted even if other
processes are using it. For example, SHOW DISPLAY in the second and
subsequent DECterm windows created during a session will return an
error saying that the WSA device has been deleted.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2. Xlib keeps a
channel open to the WSA device as long as the display is open, and
this prevents the WSA device from being deleted.
o Calls to X$Get_Icon_Sizes ACCVIO through no fault of the application
developer.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o XRM fails to retrieve all resources from large resource databases.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Xlib does not check the return status of calls to SYS$DCLAST. This
can lead to the application hanging or crashing when the user has
exceeded their AST quota or there is insufficient dynamic memory.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o XSaveContext either creates new entries and/or resizes its internal
tables rather then using existing context entries and updating the
data pointer(s).
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Multiple calls to XDrawImageString will lead to a memory leak.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Multiple calls to XSetWMProperties will lead to a memory leak.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o XtAppProcessEvent sometimes blocked without processing alternate
inputs.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There is a memory leak in XDrawImageString().
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o XLookupString does not always handle CTRL-letter key sequences
correctly.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Login Problems:
o Sometimes after the user logs in after restarting DECwindows a second
login box will appear while the session manager is running.
This problem is fixed in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Often there will be no login box after the user ends the session and
there are two Session Managers running, or when running
DECW$ENDSESSION.EXE interactively when the Session Manager is running.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Occasionally there will be no login box after booting the system,
usually when running OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 or later, due to a timing
problem.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There are several problems related to the "multiple login" check
performed by DECW$LOGINOUT.EXE during startup: if any other clients
have a connection to the X display server, DECW$LOGINOUT.EXE will exit
with status 00000000, with no information written to its log file, and
will not restart itself.
In this kit, traceback information is written to the login log file
if the DECW$LOGINOUT process terminates prematurely. To create
this log file, define the global symbol DECW$LOGINLOG in
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM to be the name of the log
file and then restart DECwindows with @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Session Manager and FileView Problems:
o The Session Manager or FileView can terminate with an ACCVIO
status due to an erroneous compound string.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Problems Addressed in the MOTAVECO06113 Kit:
Xm Library Problems:
o XmCascadeButton widgets are not displayed correctly on multi-head
systems. To correct this problem, a screen field has been added
to the XmArrowPixmap structure in the remedial kit.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.
Problems Addressed in the MOTAVECO05113 Kit:
Motif Window Manager (MWM) Problems:
o MWM will access violate when a next or previous window is attempted in
screen 1 on a dual headed monitor and the window being restacked is on
screen 0.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o A problem was introduced in Motif Window Manager customization in
MOTAVECO04113.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xm Library Problems:
o An access violation occurs in RestoreRange when the user "SHIFT MB1
clicks" on an item in an XmList where items have been previously
deleted or even just selected.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Problems Addressed in the MOTAVECO04113 Kit:
Motif Window Manager (MWM) Problems:
o MWM can hang when an f.exec is performed in certain environments.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o MWM sends WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol when 'Close' is selected on the
default window menu. The protocol handling is corrected.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
DXm Library Problems:
o The remedial kit causes the GCs of a CSText widget to be loaded,
whether the widget is realized or not.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The remedial kit increases the size of MAX_DISPLAY for the SVN widget
from 75 to 150 in DXMSVNP.H. MAX_DISPLAY is also increased to 150 in
DECwindows Motif V1.2.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The remedial kit corrects a problem with the SVN widget when setting
its DisplayMode to Columns with XtSetValues before it is managed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The remedial kit adds a new field to the SvnEventInfo structure in
DXMSVNP.H. DXMSVNP.H now also includes APIENVSET.H and APIENVRST.H,
which are also contained in the kit.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xt Intrinsics Library Problems:
o The remedial kit fixes a problem so that XtCallCallbacks returns when
no callbacks are specified.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Problems Addressed in the MOTAVECO03113 Kit:
Motif Window Manager (MWM) Problems:
o When an application modal dialog is taken down, MWM will lose the
window focus for the entire screen if the user moves the pointer out
of the dialog and back into the application before it is undisplayed.
This problem only exists if the Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy is set to
Pointer.
This problem also has some side effects. If focus is lost in this
manner, it appears to the user that the application is hung:
accelerators will not work, typed in input is not dispatched to the
application, and the application doesn't get the EnterNotify event
(because focus hasn't been returned) and the application still thinks
internally that the pointer is outside the graphics region.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
UIL Compiler Problems:
o Fixes a problem with floating point encoding in the UIL compiler.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
DXm Library Problems:
o The foreground of a CSText widget was not able to be modified by using
XtSetValues.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Due to an error inadvertently introduced in MOTAVECO01113,
applications can see a missing first topic in a Help widget and
inappropriate "Additional Topics".
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xm Library Problems:
o Top level application shells created from parents that are
_PRIMARY_APPLICATION_MODAL cannot receive focus or events.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Motif Resource Manager (Mrm) Problems:
o Fonts declared in UIL may be erroneously freed by Mrm.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There is a memory leak in MrmFetchWidgetOverride.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xt Intrinsics Library Problems:
o There is a problem with default positioning of Dialog shells when
executing under non-Digital window managers.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There was a problem introduced in MOTAVECO01113 which caused display
problems for some customized widgets (VLIST).
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Problems Addressed in the MOTAVECO02113 Kit:
Motif Window Manager (MWM) Problems:
o MWM can have a fatal error when the user closes windows in
applications with many sibling windows.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o When a user switches focus between applications on multiple screens
and the application has a private colormap on one screen, MWM flashes
the default colormap.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o MWM has a memory leak when creating icons.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o MWM may loop trying to display the kill confirmation box when the user
exits the Session Manager. With the remedial kit, MWM will always
exit when the user exits the Session Manager.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The icon box color sample displayed by MWM does not accurately reflect
the color of the icon box if the user turns on the option to
"Automatically Set the Color."
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o If the border is customized to have no elements, MWM does not
correctly display this.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o MWM did not use the correct search path for internationalization for
the resource configuration file (decw$mwm_rc.dat, sys.mwmrc, or
.mwmrc).
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The move and size feedback windows are not always displayed on the top
of the screen.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Stray lines can be displayed by the feedback window when moving the
outline of windows on top of it.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o MWM did not correctly set the screen for all MWM menu items on
multiple screen configurations.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o f.exec always applies to screen 0. In the remedial kit, f.exec will
apply to the same screen as the MWM menu from which it was selected.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
DXm Library Problems:
o Fixes a problem where the clip mask is not being cleared for some SVN
GCs (Graphics Contexts), leaving exposure problems when the SVN is
displayed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes several problems with component selection and location cursor
redrawing of SVN widgets.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a problem that causes an access violation when scrolling past
the last entry in an SVN using the keyboard arrow keys.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes several problems redisplaying SVN entries that are widgets in
column mode.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a problem with pending delete and highlighting of text in a
CSText widget.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a problem in DXmCreateScrolledCSText where resize is to the left
when layout= DXmNlayoutDirection= DXmLAYOUT_LEFT_DOWN.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a problem with the creation of CSText widgets, where the
ModifyCallback is not called when the initial value of the widget is
set.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Corrects several problems with vertical scroll bars and layout
directions in CSText widgets.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o An infinite loop occurs in a CSText widget if a tab is at the end of
the string. Also, a space at the end of a word-wrapped line causes an
infinite loop.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o There are two problems displaying the IBar cursor in a CSText widget.
In one case, the cursor is not correctly displayed when the blink rate
is 0, and in the other case, it is incorrectly displayed when its
position was too far to the left of the widget.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o An infinite loop occurs in a CSText widget if auto-wrap is set and one
character of the string does not fit in the widget.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The Print widget does not resize correctly when options within the
widget are suppressed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Memory is corrupted by the Print widget. Compound strings are
erroneously deallocated twice when printer and format choices are
changed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xm Library Problems:
o Corrects the default for the XmNvisibleItemCount resource. In V1.1,
it is 0 and it has been changed to 1. XmList now also prints a
warning message if XmNvisibleItemCount is negative.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Corrects listwidth, listheight, and ScrollBar width calculations when
resizing an XmList widget.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Includes revised code to prevent core dumps when deleting items from
an XmList widget. These changes are Pirs 2016 and 2225.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Corrects a memory leak in XmCascadeButton instances which appear when
they are destroyed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications can access violate when the user copies more than 300
lines from DECterm to the clipboard.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Multi-directional strings in XmString widgets are incorrectly parsed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications which contain very large compound strings terminate with
an access violation because of an array overflow.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o A popup menu can set focus incorrectly back to a destroyed window.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Problems Addressed in the MOTAVECO01113 Kit:
UIL Compiler Problems:
o A previous problem fix inadvertently breaks indirect font definitions.
Using a literal whose value is another font literal causes the
compiler to generate a fatal "UIL-F-SUBMIT_SPR, internal error -
submit software problem report" message.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a binary format problem which prevents the
DECW$UIL_DXM_MOTIF.WMD from being readable.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
DXm Library Problems:
o The CSText widget has problems with memory leaks, cursor display
problems and infinite loops when using word wrapping.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Corrects problems which cause access violations when the
DXmHekpNfirstTopic resource is set with XtSetValues.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Corrects several problems with Help widgets involving traversal,
display, memory leaks and memory corruption causing abnormal program
termination.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The Print widget abnormally terminates the client application when
resources (usually memory) are limited.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
In addition, the Print widget no longer virtually "clones" process
address space to perform the print command, so a much smaller amount
of resources are used.
o The Vertical Pane can resize, even when it is explicitly told not to
resize.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Motif Resource Manager (Mrm) Problems:
o Fixes several problems which cause access violations when large
objects are read in from UIL, usually large icons.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xm Library Problems:
o Application timers are erroneously canceled when a user selects a list
item from an XmList widget and then moves the pointer outside of the
list.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications occasionally access violate when changing the label of an
item in a shared pulldown menu.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o XmClipboardRetrieve leaks memory when reading data from the clipboard,
when the data was written by a non-Motif application. The size of the
leak is more or less that of the data read from the clipboard.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o String direction in XmString widgets is not always honored for strings
which are heavily nested.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The first direction in an XmString sometime causes the display of an
empty segment.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The child of an OptionMenu can be accessed after it has been
successfully destroyed, causing an access violation.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications occasionally access violate when changing the label of an
item in a shared pulldown menu.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o The position of a pulldown is erroneously initialized to the position
of the most recently posted pulldown which has been destroyed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications can occasionally access violate when dynamically
destroying pulldown menus in an XmMenuShell.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a leak of temporary Graphics Contexts (GCs), which also
indirectly causes server resource IDs to roll over, exposing an X11/R4
server problem.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Each click on a scroll bar leaks 57 bytes of memory.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Garbage characters are displayed in an XmTextField widget if the
XmNvalue resource is set to a null string (i.e., "").
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications sometimes terminate when the user performs keyboard
traversal on pulldown menus.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Applications can terminate with an access violation due to problems in
traversal when destroying widget hierarchies.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
Xt Intrinsics Library Problems:
o Corrects a problem in XtPhase2Destroy which can cause an ACCVIO when
XtDestroyWidget() is called to destroy relatively large widget
hierarchies.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
o Fixes a problem where occasionally passive grabs are not ungrabbed
when the widget is destroyed.
This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2.
