Hello all, My office has compiled the TWM from the standard X distribution and has been running it on 386 & 486 PC's. One thing we've noticed is that, for an app which brings up multiple windows, if you click in the TWM title bar before the title is actually drawn there, any subsequent windows for that app will come up with zero size. They're still there, but you must resize them manually, assuming you can find them at all. Since impatient people with mice tend to click the mouse when they don't know what else to do, this problem occurs much more frequently on the slower machines. We've only been able to duplicate this once on a workstation, and it took quite a few tries on a bogged down machine before we finally did it. Has anyone else encountered this problem? More importantly, does anyone out there know how to fix this? Just saying "Don't click in the title bar" may work for programmers, but it's an inacceptable solution for our computer-illiterate customers. ANY input would be appreciated. Please mail responses to bvh@cse.unl.edu, as I don't read these groups very often.
