One more bit of detail which makes suggests that this is not actually an xmgrace bug but something else. I ran xmgrace (remote connection) from an older fedora 10 machine, where xmgrace works just fine from the local console, to FC12 beta machine. It revealed the same symptoms as above. So this is probably a problem in the X server? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I confirm the bug. Seems like a lesstif issue. I confirm this bug too with the most recent grace (5.1.22-6). I can also confirm that this same bug exists with an older version of grace which uses the openmotif libraries, with a symlink from libXm.so.4 -> libXm.so.3. This bug is very annoying and does not depend on the window manager. It appears on KDE ot gnome. This bug seems to be a motif bug. It does not depend on that fact that we are using lesstif or openmotif. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543647 I found a very simple workaround. Instead of doing right click where the mouse pointer is definitely stuck, press the shift button and do the click click in the same time. It seems suficient to do that once on a menu area when xmgrace is open; but if you close and restart xmgrace, you need to use the shift button. If not, ascii console again. May be this workaround can help to find the bug? I confirm that this workaround works! In my experience, I simply hold the shift button down as I perform the right click. As far as I know, it functions exactly the same as performing a simple right click, but at least now the menu appears and the mouse is no longer locked. Thanks for the suggestion! I confirm adding another LessTif developer who may hopefully care. The last update of Fedora 12 suppresses this bug. It is likely related to some changes in xorg-x11-server-common), but I am not sure. Anyway, xmgrace works without any workaround! This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Is this still a problem for F13 or F14? I don't think so - it got fixed sometime in F13. (In reply to comment #13) > I don't think so - it got fixed sometime in F13. Thanks. I think that this bug can now be safely closed. |
