Description Markus Schöpflin 2007-06-15 15:29:04 UTC

Description of problem:
Using the attached sample program (which is basically a copy of an example in the Motif programmer manual plus an event handler), the compiled binary crashes when clicking the last two list items in rapid succession. Using a debug version of libXm.so gives the following callstack:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openmotif-2.2.3-10.RHEL4.1

How reproducible:
Sometimes


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile, link, and execute attached source file.
2. Click on the last item ('December') in the list. It is removed.
3. Very rapidly click on the now last item ('November') in the list.

Note that it is a little difficult to reproduce the crash, as the time between the two clicks must be somewhere in the milliseconds range. The time is possibly related to the double clock interval, but I can't say for sure.

Actual Results:
Program crash.

Expected Results:
List item should have been deleted.
