This bug has been reported to the Debian BTS 6 months ago by Bernhard R. Link. From what I see in gitweb, it still applies to current git. Xaw's Tips.c registers and releases timers for tooltips to show, but does not remember a timer already triggered. Thus it releases timers no longer belonging to it but to other users of Xt Timeouts within the same program. (This even happens very often, as Xt reuses old TimeEventRecs, so the next one adding a timeout will get exactly this number.) diff -r -u libxaw-1.0.1.orig/src/Tip.c libxaw-1.0.1/src/Tip.c --- libxaw-1.0.1.orig/src/Tip.c 2006-08-18 16:07:24.086733000 +0200 +++ libxaw-1.0.1/src/Tip.c 2006-08-18 16:08:02.513875540 +0200 @@ -564,6 +564,7 @@ info->tip->tip.label = NULL; info->tip->tip.international = False; info->tip->tip.encoding = 0; + info->tip->tip.timer = 0; XtSetArg(args[0], XtNtip, &info->tip->tip.label); XtSetArg(args[1], XtNinternational, &info->tip->tip.international); XtSetArg(args[2], XtNencoding, &info->tip->tip.encoding); This is the correct bahaviour, as section 7.1.3 of Intrinsic.txt.gz says: | Note that timeouts are automatically removed once they trig- | ger. src/Repeater.c correctly forgets the timer when it is triggered, but src/StripChart.c does very strange things with Xt Timeouts, which very likely will have similar problems.
