Objet : [Bug 581032] Re: mouse cursor gets trapped in a Motif drawing area when creating a popup menu

Hi Yves,
Here are the notes I promised earlier today:

I found a patch discussed at http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18598. The
direct URL is http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18598?getfile=4963. I
believe the patch is from http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-
<email address hidden>/msg05737.html, but I did not verify.

I hacked the patch file so that I could make it apply in my environment.
The hacked patch file is attached.

Here is a summary of how I built and installed a replacement .deb:

  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev devscripts
  $ apt-get source xserver-xorg-core
  $ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-core
  $ cd xorg-server-1.7.6/
  $ patch -p1 </tmp/xorg-patch.patch
  $ dch -i
  $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
  $ cd ..
  $ sudo dpkg -i xserver-common_1.7.6-2ubuntu8_all.deb

This did fix the problem for me.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Status in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
This bug appeared when changing to Ubuntu 10.4 with OpenMotif and Lesstif as well.

The mouse is trapped in the Drawing area where a popup menu should appear.

To replicate this problem just use the program simple_popup.c from http://www.ist.co.uk/motif/books/vol6A/ch-19.fm.html.
I compiled this program with gcc simple_popup.c -lXm.
After clicking the button 3 (the right one) the pointer is trapped in the window without any popup menu.

In the previous version (9.10) the menu did appear correctly.

Best regards,
Yves
