Description Laurence Page 2005-03-31 06:44:01 UTC

I have generated a simple test program for this problem: a graphics panel
consisting of a GLX widget and a text input widget. I used to be able to get the
focus to move from the text widget to the GLX widget (XFree86 4.1 - RH 7.1) as
the cursor was moved but now (XFree86 4.3 onwards - RH9, SUSE9) the input focus
stays stuck on the text widget when the cursor is moved into the GLX widget.

The code is happy on SUN, IBM, SGI, HP.

Sample Makefile for test program:
CFLAGS= -I/usr/X11R6/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib

.c.o:
	gcc -c $(CFLAGS) $<

all: xgltest

xgltest.o: xgltest.c

xgltest: xgltest.o
	gcc $(LDFLAGS) -o xgltest xgltest.o -lGLU -lGL -lGLw -lXm -lXt -lX11

Is it possible that some of the OpenMotif internals were changed in the meantime
which require an update of the GLX widget code, too ?

Comment 5 Kristian Høgsberg 2010-05-07 17:03:53 UTC

This is a bug in motif.  GLX doesn't handle X input events or deal with focus at all, so if the widget is not receiving events the problem is in the motif library you're using.
