From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:

When an xterm with a scroll bar is used, and the mouse pointer is in 
the scroll bar, the xterm does not accept keyboard input. This used
to work.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an xterm with a scroll bar using  "xterm -sb"
2. Ensure that it has the input focus
2. Move the mouse pointer so that it's pointing to the scroll bar
3. Type some characters.	

Actual Results:  The characters are not typed into the xterm (it acts as if 
nothing
was typed).


Expected Results:  The characters should have been entered just as they would 
if the
pointer was anywhere else (as always used to happen :)

Additional info:


Using XFree86-4.1.0-15 but the problem exists in RH7.2 with no errata RPMs 
applied.

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-02-22 03:11:12 UTC

In the XTerm.ad resources file, there is a line VT100*translations
Change the * to a . or vice versa.  Restart XFree86 and let me know
if the problem goes away.

Thanks for looking into this!

I assume you mean the file
   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm"

I've edited it to change *both* the lines starting
   *VT100*translations:
to
   *VT100.translations:
This has fixed the problem - many thanks!
