What were you trying to do?
I was trying to see if we had the new version of multi for the
decstation yet.
What went wrong?
It tried to tell me some useful stuff in a popup window by using the
console program. Unfortunately, it used the X resources for
`console'. In particular, this one:
console*form.form: hide: 100 0 - - \
scrollup: 0 0 - - \
scrolldown: 0 - - 100 \
scrollBarWindow: 0 scrollup - scrolldown \
textDisplayWindow: scrollBarWindow 0 100 100 \
title: 100 0 110 textDisplayWindow
This doesn't leave me with a visible `hide' button, which I like for
the normal console, but which is annoying for multi's informational
popup.
What should have happened?
Multi's informational popup shouldn't have used the X resources for
`console', since it's not really console. In particular it uses
res_name `console' and res_class `Console'. It shouldn't do this
Anything else to add?
Yeah. I reported a very similar bug once before, if anyone feels
like digging around for it.
