Description Stuart Hansen 2000-02-19 22:55:27 UTC 
When using the mouse to drag objects, all the application's windows hang (do not refresh,
cannot be closed) etc.  This happens frequently both with Netscape applets and
IBMs Visual Age for Java.  The xterm where I start Visual Age reports the error
X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)

If I drag very slowly, the problem seems to occur less frequently.

Comment 3 Stuart Hansen 2000-02-24 15:12:59 UTC 
My video card is an STB Velocity 4400  8M SDRAM AGP

The relevant sections of my XF86Config seem to be:

Comment 4 Preston Brown 2000-05-08 14:08:59 UTC 
what window manager are you using?
Comment 5 Stuart Hansen 2000-05-08 15:47:59 UTC 
Enlightenment.
Move Methods set to Opaque
Resize Methods set to Box
Comment 6 Preston Brown 2000-06-26 19:27:38 UTC 
try using a different window manager, or turning off opaque moves.
Comment 7 Stuart Hansen 2000-06-26 19:53:27 UTC 
I have already explored both of these strategies in some depth and the problem
still persists.
Comment 8 Preston Brown 2000-08-29 17:43:28 UTC 
we don't have other reports indicating a similar problem from other customers,
and we can't duplicate the problem in house.  I'm not saying there definitely
isn't a problem, but we haven't been able to isolate it so it can be fixed.
