[comp.windows.x.motif] pasting selection into XmText

shepard@COMMUNITY-CHEST.MITRE.ORG (Peggy Shepard) (12/13/90)

Configuration: Sun3, SunOS 4.1, X11R4, Motif 1.0.A

I have a form that contains text widgets.  I want to select
text from another application, (e.g., an xterm) and paste
it into one of the text widgets.  This process is only
successful occasionally (usually if it is the first
operation on the form after it has been managed).  I need
to have this capability for my application.  Is this a known
bug?

If the general public is not having this problem, or if it
is well-known and I just missed it, please e-mail me any
solutions or suggestions.

We won't be migrating to Motif 1.1 until after the new year.
I just learned that we have Motif 1.0.3 sitting on a shelf,
so if that release fixes the problem, please let me know.

Thanks for your help.
