[comp.windows.x.motif] Keyboard Traversal broke on Sun 3

slc1290@hare.udev.cdc.com (steve chesney x4662) (04/16/91)

Keyboard traversal seems to break within our application on windows containing
XmBulletin_Boards with the defaultButton resource set to TRUE so that a return 
key activates a pushbutton widget: the user cannot use the keyboard in these
windows if he/she is using a Sun 3 as X Server.  It does not matter where the
client is running (Sun 3 or MIPS or SGI).  The window appears to take focus and
the mouse is active (one can click on pushbuttons or into text widgets to set 
focus) but all keyboard activity is to no effect.  For example, one can click
into a text widget to set focus, the focus highlight and cursor appear, but 
typing does not update widget contents.  The only way the text widget will 
accept text is from a mouse paste operation.

The application has lots of other similar dialog boxes that work fine - the 
only difference seems to be the dead ones have default buttons; Sun 3 server
only!  The client is Motif 1.1 and the server is X11R4 built from an MIT
distribution.     

Can anyone point me to a likely cause/solution?

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip on traversal; I'll give it a try.
