[comp.windows.open-look] OW 2.0 focus problems

ks@tut.fi (Syst{ Kari) (01/25/91)

Many of our OpenWindows users have been suffering from focus problems:

  Suddenly a window window (xterm for instance) just cannot get input
  from the keyboard. The focus can be returned by closing and reopening 
  the window.

  Typically this problem is encountered when window is closed with the
  close-key and opened with double-click of mouse.

Any ideas what's going on and what is the possible workaround ?
