   What were you trying to do?click on folder buttons (e.g., inbox, drafts)

   What's wrong: The button did not stay highlighted (reverse video)

   What should have happened:The button should have
    stayed highlighted (reverse video)

I'm not convinced this is a "bug", per se; I suspect that this was a
conscious design decision on the part of the people who rewrote xmh
for X11R4.

However, I will report it to the X Consortium, and ask them if they
intended to remove this functionality, and if they didn't, if they
could put it back in (or at least make it optional and controlled by a
resource or something).
