Simple question: why does the Athena text widget scroll on overflow whether or not the scroll on overflow option is set?? Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is this a bug? Is there someway to get the widget to only scroll on overflow if the option is set? I have submitted at least two other messages about this problem and have not seen a reply (unless one was sent while I was away for the holidays, in which case I profusely apologize). Are my messages making anywhere? Is there someone at Athena who is supposed to handle problems/bug reports/user questions such as this? Thanks for any and all help given, Rob rgcote@koppel.lcs.mit.edu rgcote@vx.uucp -- and none of this of course will stand when I stand before the man on that great day of the great divide when all the kings and queens will have their closets emptied and the bones them bones them dry bones will not fail dead men will tell tales and you can laugh I can laugh we can laugh but its not funny -the 77s

The Athena Text Widget does not create the Atoms for the Cut Buffers until the actions select-start() and extend-end() have been executed. A call to XtTextSetSelection is not sufficient to create CUT_BUFFER0, which is used in the action insert-selection. This causes XmuInternAtom to exit the program. A (kludge) solution is to cause the actions select-start and extend-end to be executed immediately after the call to XtTextSetSelection, by using the appropriate event translation. Nigel Goddard

Looking at my (new) code I don't see this as a problem for R4. If you want me to be absolutely sure then send me a *** SHORT *** example program. Chris D.
