From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: Xt command widgets don't set their background color properly when the color is changed in response to a ButtonRelease event. This seems to be an incorrect interaction with the widget's normal color inversion due to a ButtonPress event. At the supplied url you will find a very simple C program which illustrates the problem. This program works properly under RH 6.1, Solaris, SunOs and every other system I've been able to test it on. Similar code has worked for over 10 years on a wide variety of systems. When the program works correctly the background color is toggle between red and white with each left button click. Under RH7.1 the background and foreground colors get rather confused. It is easier to try it than to describe exactly what happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : XFree86-devel Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 4.0.3 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 5 Build Date: Fri 30 Mar 2001 08:53:34 PM CST How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy bgtest.c and Makefile from ftp site 2. make 3. bgtest Click left mouse button in the widget. Actual Results: Background color not set properly. Expected Results: Background color should toggle between red and white. Additional info:
This bug is unlikely to be Red Hat specific, and more likely to be generic to all XFree86 releases. Please file a bug report upstream with XFree86 directly, where it can get a higher level of exposure by people more familiar with the Xt code.
