Every so often, the button bar on the compose window of mush 7.0.4 gets confused and displays the "compose/reply" screen when it should be displaying the "include/send/etc" screen. The program is still expecting the include screen as if my eye and memory are good enough and I click the mouse on where the send button should be, the message is sent. Anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix in the works?

The problem is related to mush forking a child process to send mail, which then forks again and execs sendmail -- the child then passes the message to the "grandchild" sendmail. This is done so the "parent" mush can continue responding to user input without waiting for the sendmail process to finish. Unfortunately, the child still holds a descriptor to the frame, and blithely resets the panel image before exiting. The workaround is to repaint the display (the root menu "Redisplay All" choice if nothing else works). } Is there a fix in the works? A fix has been made, this will be handled correctly in the next release. -- Bart Schaefer "EARTH: Surrender IMMEDIATELY or we PICKLE DAN QUAYLE" "THPPFT!" schaefer@cse.ogi.edu (used to be cse.ogc.edu)

The outward appearance has changed more subtly, but it could be that your bug still exists as I have never had that problem. Please followup here, not via email as I would like other mushview (7.1 beta) users to see this as well. They have not reported the problem. > The program is still expecting the include screen as if my eye and memory > are good enough and I click the mouse on where the send button should be, the > message is sent. This sounds like a problem with SunView!
