The details: X11.3, Sun 3/60, SunOS 4.0, awm. I recently discovered xcalendar, and I was quickly addicted. It is a very useful tool. However, I have found two highly obnoxious problems: 1) Frequently, the "dayeditor" fails. Essentially, I get the window, and it is still sensitive to the mouse buttons, but I am unable to type anything in. It is as if the keypress events were simply not getting through. Sometimes restarting xcalendar fixes the problem, sometimes it doesn't. If I keep an xcalendar around long enough, I am guaranteed to eventually have problems. 2) On color Suns, xcalendar dumps core as soon as the pointer enters its window. I haven't had the chance to dig into the code after either one of these; I will try to do that soon. Until then, has anybody else seen this behavior, and (best of all) fixed it?
