[comp.windows.x] Help with Twm bug

hearth@Unify.Com (Donald S. Hearth) (04/14/91)

     I recently compiled twm for my IBM RS 6000, and I am having a problem
     with the menus.  When I press a mouse button, the menu pops up, but
     the is no writing for the various options. When I move down the 
     menu, as I pass each each option, they suddenly appear. As I release
     the button, and press it again, the writing is again absent.

     Has anybody run into this?  Any help would be apprecitated. By the
     way, people have been telling me about patches to X11r4 for the
     RS 6000 on export.mit.edu.  I have no ftp capability here. Could
     some kind heart send me those patches?  I would forever be in your
     debt. Thanks!

3005 or ICRB depending on what you call these things fixes this. I
might be (and probably am) mistaken, but I think it is a backing store
problem that invoking the server without backing store might hide the
problem? In any event, can't test this as the problem went away with
3005.
