- Hello all,
-
- My office has compiled the TWM from the standard X distribution
- and has been running it on 386 & 486 PC's. One thing we've noticed
- is that, for an app which brings up multiple windows, if you click
- in the TWM title bar before the title is actually drawn there, any
- subsequent windows for that app will come up with zero size. They're
- still there, but you must resize them manually, assuming you can
- find them at all.
-
- Since impatient people with mice tend to click the mouse when they
- don't know what else to do, this problem occurs much more frequently
- on the slower machines. We've only been able to duplicate this
- once on a workstation, and it took quite a few tries on a bogged down
- machine before we finally did it.
-
- Has anyone else encountered this problem? More importantly, does
- anyone out there know how to fix this? Just saying "Don't click in
- the title bar" may work for programmers, but it's an inacceptable
- solution for our computer-illiterate customers. ANY input would be
- appreciated. Please mail responses to bvh@cse.unl.edu, as I don't
- read these groups very often.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Obi-Wan
