[comp.windows.x.motif] pulldown menus appearing in incorrect locations

bob@odi.com (Bob Miner) (07/06/90)

With the following combinations

	Motif 1.0a application
	X11R3 or R4 server with -bc option
	twm from the X11R4 tape

	Motif 1.0a application
	OpenWindows 1.0.1

pulldown menus in a menubar sometimes appear in the wrong place on the screen
(ie. not at the menubar), most typically in the top left corner of the screen.

This happens with the OSF demo applications, so I'm fairly certain that this
is either a Motif bug or an ICCCM mismatch, in which case it might be fixed
in Motif 1.1.

Any ideas / help / workarounds would be appreciated.  Even confirmation that
the behavior we're seeing is being seen elsewhere would be nice.

I have seen this happen when the pulldown is managed as well as the cascade
button, but I don't know why that would happen in the demo apps.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
