Epoch confusion with selected screen

I remember seeing a couple of postings (no longer available here) that
said that Epoch got confused with the selected screen, and displayed
an outline cursor instead of solid cursor even though the screen was
selected.  I have been able to get this to happen repeatably as
follows.

I am running Epoch version 4.2 on a HP 730 running HP-UX 9.0.  In the
VUE window manager, I have a function key bound to f.raise_lower so
that I can push/pop a window with the mouse WITHIN the window's
border.  I also have the following resources set:

Mwm*focusAutoRaise:	False
Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:	pointer

If I have some other window (say an Xterm window) obscuring an Epoch
screen, and I use the function key to lower the Xterm window, then
the Epoch screen becomes the active window.  However, the cursor
within that screen remains an outline cursor until I move the mouse
out of the screen, then back into the screen.  Looks like Epoch does
not recognise this particular way of selecting a screen.
