[comp.windows.x] Bug in xterm in X11R3

rlk@THINK.COM (Robert L. Krawitz) (08/19/89)

In X11R3 with unknown, but small, number of patches under SunOS 3.5 on a
Sun 3/140, with an 80x72 window with scroll bar but no title bar, using
uwm as my window manager, if I click the right mouse button in a window
while I'm moving the mouse rapidly through the window (as happens
occasionally when I'm moving the mouse and accidentally brush the
buttons), the window sometimes just dies on me.  There is no core dump
that I can find, and no error message, but the window just dies on me.

Has anyone else had this happen?  It is most annoying, to say the least.

This should be fixed by public patch #4, available via ftp or the xstuff
mail archive server.  It is caused by a bug in the extend-select code.
