[comp.windows.x] Weird list widget problem

davy@RIACS.EDU (04/14/89)

Here's a weird one.  xpostit uses a list widget as its menu.  On a Sun-3
under SunOS 4.0, with X.V11R3 patches 1-9, all this works just fine.

On a Sequent under Dynix 3.0.14, I get the following behavior:

	When the list widget comes up, it is blank.  There
	are no strings displayed.

	When you click the mouse to make a selection in the
	list widget, the text is highlighted in reverse
	video, and then when the unhighlight routine is
	called, the text shows up.

	The text in the button widgets, etc, all comes up
	properly.

	This happens when displaying to a Sun or an NCD or Visual
	X terminal.

It looks to me like some exposure event is getting dropped or something
causing the text to not be displayed on the list widget.  But since
everything works fine on a Sun, this doesn't seem right.

Has anyone encountered similar behavior, or does anyone have any idea
at what I should begin to look at here?
