-
- One small point which might help some people is that trying to set the
- inputFocusColor to the same as the background only fails for buttons.
- It will work as expected for scrolling lists. Put the following line
- in your .Xdefaults or app-defaults file and lists should be more
- bearable:
-
- *List*inputFocusColor: <your background color>
-
- Note that the class name for the widget is List and not ScrolledList.
-
- Meanwhile contact your distributor and ask for patch id 100451-30, the
- OLIT/3.0 CTE Jumbo Patch.
