[comp.sys.sun] SunView: Disappearing Windows

feuerman@symcom.math.uiuc.edu (04/26/89)

Has anyone else experienced a problem with windows suddenly disappearing
in SunView?  The problem is this:  We have a user who regularly has about
2 or 3 command tools up and about 4 or 5 textedit windows.

>From time to time, without warning, a command tools window (or even the
console window!) will suddenly disappear.

FYI, we're in SunOS 4.0, Sun 3/50 workstations with 4 Mb memory.  I don't
think we're up against any sort of resource limit.  Has anyone else had
this happen?  Any suggestions at a solution?

We have the same problem.  We have the same configuration you specified.
In our case, the console cmdtool disappears overnight and any attempt to
use the mouse buttons after that results in sunview core dumping.  We have
reported this bug to Sun but have not yet gotten a response.  Anyone have
any solutions or know how to light a fire under these guys?
