SYNOPSIS: Missing buttons for center control panel on resize.
DESCRIPTION:If I resize the window for reading mail, I lose all but
the first line of buttons in the center of the display, leaving
only Quit, Next unread, Next, Scroll Forward, and Scroll Backward.
REPEAT BY: Read (any group), change height of window. It seems not
to have problems if I change the width first.
This is a bug in the "Pane" widget that is part of the MIT X
Consortium Athena Widget set. Xrn can't do anything about the
problem. The bset you can do is work around it, and as you point out,
that's easy, since changing the width of the window, or sometimes just
changing the height again, will bring the lost buttons back.
By the way, when you're using xrn, you're not "reading mail," you're
reading News.
