Description of problem: The attached Motif code works properly on an SGI Irix system, but not on FC4 or FC5 (the two I've tested). Interstingly enough, it also doesn't work if I run the code on the Irix box and display it on an FC machine. So, it might not be openmotif itself, but rather the X server. I figured I'd start here though in case the Motif packager had any insight. In the app, you should be able to type in the "Command Area:" and have what you typed appear in the "Message Area:" when you press return. However, you cannot select or otherwise activate the Command Area: TextField. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openmotif-2.3.0-0.1.9.2

I am able to type in the Command area and after pressing return, the test is appearing in the Message area with openmotif-2.3.0-0.1.9.2 on FC5. What exactly is not working for you?
I can't type in the Command area. Perhaps it is a KDE issue? That's what we use here.
Reassigning to kde as this appears to be a KDE window manager issue. Works okay in Gnome and Xfce.
yes, it's a bug in kdebase and has been already fixed in our CVS. I will build new kdebase including this fix in FC5 update next week. As quick workaround you should please disable "Apply colors to non-KDE applications" in kcontrol->Appearance & Themes->Colors thanks for your report.
