I am using XView 1.0.1 (with patches), X11R4 on Sun 3 running SunOS 4.0.3. I have the following problem: In my application (which consists of a straight forward text window (Textsw)), if I select (click select, click drag, etc.) when there is already a selected text somewhere else (say, xterm or any other application), my application infinite loops, with the error message Selection library internal error: Select call returned error When this happens, the remedy is to remotely kill the application, or reboot the workstation (sigh). This problem does not occur if nothing is selected in any of the co-existing applications. Has anyone run into this problem, or have suggestions as to how I can fix it? Thanks. Metin Feridun mferidun@bbn.com ps. this is a sample code that manifests the problem. +++++++++++++++++++++ example code +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #include <X11/Xlib.h> #include <xview/xview.h> #include <xview/scrollbar.h> #include <xview/panel.h> #include <xview/textsw.h> Frame frame; Panel panel; Textsw textsw; void update(); void quit(); main(argc, argv) int argc; char *argv[]; { xv_init(XV_INIT_ARGC_PTR_ARGV, &argc, argv, NULL); frame = (Frame) xv_create(NULL, FRAME, NULL); panel = (Panel) xv_create(frame, PANEL, NULL); (void) xv_create(panel, PANEL_BUTTON, PANEL_LABEL_STRING, "Update", PANEL_NOTIFY_PROC, update, NULL); (void) xv_create(panel, PANEL_BUTTON, PANEL_LABEL_STRING, "Quit", PANEL_NOTIFY_PROC, quit, NULL); window_fit_height(panel); textsw = xv_create(frame, TEXTSW , WIN_BELOW , panel, XV_WIDTH, 500, XV_HEIGHT, 300, TEXTSW_READ_ONLY, TRUE , TEXTSW_MEMORY_MAXIMUM , 100000 , 0 ); window_fit(frame); xv_main_loop(frame); } void update() { int len; len = strlen("update\n"); textsw_insert(textsw, "update\n", len); } void quit() { xv_destroy_safe(frame); }
