[comp.windows.x.motif] Resize of Motif applications hangs X - anyone seen this behavior?

wex@dali.pws.bull.com (Buckaroo Banzai) (12/11/90)

We are experiencing the following problem with several of our applications.
All use Motif 1.0.3 widgets (some use UIL) and run on an SCO-based X11R3
server with mwm.

The windows can be sized up to full screen, and down to fairly small size
with no problem.  At some point (about the size of a postage stamp), the X
server hangs, refusing to take keyboard input or move the mouse.  The window
has been redrawn for the most part (at that size it's a little hard to
tell), but Mwm has not yet repainted the title bar.  Then everything
freezes.

The system still responds to pings and will accept rlogins, but no X clients
can be started.

Other people's Motif applications do not demonstrate this behavior, but they
use a different set of widgets, leading me to suspect we're tripping over a
bug in one of the widgets (the form?  the rowcolumn?).

We've tried removing the user's .Xdefaults and also the app-defaults and the
behavior is still present.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?  Please *email* me at the address
below or as wex@spdcc.com.  Thanks!
