[comp.windows.x.motif] Text widget question ...

arm@sps.com (Annette Myjak) (07/31/90)

Is there a reason why the RETURN key doesn't seem to do anything in a
multi-line Motif Text widget?  (Specifically, it doesn't cause the input 
cursor to go to the next line like one would expect.)  The documentation
indicates that the translation table is set up for RETURN to perform a
newline().

Is this a 'feature' or is the documentation misleading and I need to do
something else.

(BTW, I am using UIL to specify my Text Widget.)

Thanks!!

I'd like to have a Text widget width be the width of its parent (a form).  However, I'd it seems to stay 20 characters (or whatever character width assigned) even when its left and right sides are attached to the form.

Suggestions appreciated!
