After several clicks on expected list items locations in the menus, some of them appear. Expected results: Proper display of all menu items in pull-down menus Additional info: After a google search I found that this bug is also reported in OpenSolaris bugs database with Id 6366490 (http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6366490) In this case a patch for this bug has recently been released I also tested the same motif app with vncserver and vncviewer and runs fine.

This is the reply I got from Alan Coopersmith when asked about the Solaris solution to this bug: Unfortunately, it was fixed in the Xnest built out of our Xsun tree, which isn't open source. The Xnest part is fortunately unencumbered and the fix was small: --- xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xnest/Events.c 2004-10-18 15:18:34.025880000 -0700 +++ xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xnest/Events.c 2006-05-02 17:34:58.127524000 -0700 @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ while (XCheckIfEvent(xnestDisplay, &X, xnestExposurePredicate, NULL)) { pWin = xnestWindowPtr(X.xexpose.window); - if (pWin) { + if (pWin && X.xexpose.width && X.xexpose.height) { Box.x1 = pWin->drawable.x + wBorderWidth(pWin) + X.xexpose.x; Box.y1 = pWin->drawable.y + wBorderWidth(pWin) + X.xexpose.y; Box.x2 = Box.x1 + X.xexpose.width; @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ REGION_INIT(pWin->drawable.pScreen, &Rgn, &Box, 1); - miWindowExposures(pWin, &Rgn, NullRegion); + miSendExposures(pWin, &Rgn, Box.x2, Box.y2); } } } I've cc'ed the engineer who worked on it, since he could answer any questions on why this works better than I can. -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
