[comp.windows.x] Cannot popup twice.

ATT3B@UCONNVM.BITNET (Martin Stein) (05/08/90)

I have a list i want to display in a popup window.
The list should be displayed upon some action, edited and then
popped down again. In the meantime it will change, so i have to recreate
the whole list again.

That means:
- Create popup shell.
- When popup callback fires, build list widget and pop up shell.
- Pop down, get edited values and destroy list widget.

My problem is: When i pop up the list a second time, the program locks
up displaying an empty window, that behaves like the root window.

I am using X11R3 on ESIX Rev C.

I recall that there was a bug displaying a destroyed widget a second
time - is that right? I cannot access expo.lcs via ftp because bitftp
has protocoll problems, so i can't get the archives.

Please answer!

              Thanks
