Apparently, if mwm opens a window directly under the mouse
cursor (i.e., I think what I did was to hit the button and then I
moved the mouse diagonally to the right and down) the window that
pops up does not become the current one. Perhaps this was an
isolated incident, but perhaps not...
I cannot duplicate this problem. I have tried the following tests
with mwm running with and without mwm borders on the window:
1. Run xterm. When mwm asks to place it, press the mouse and then
quickly move down and to the right so that the mouse is in the
window when it maps.
2. Do the same thing with emacs.
3. Run an xterm with a specified geometry argument, and then move the
mouse so that when mwm maps the window, the mouse is on top of the
xterm.
4. Do the same thing with emacs.
I have tried some of these tests several times, with no success.
If you could be a bit more specific about what you are doing, we
might be able to help. For example, what program is this problem
happening with -- xterm, emacs, or something else? Also, does it
happen consistently, or irregularly? On both the Vax and RT, or just
the vax?
We'll try to fix it, but we can't do that if we can't duplicate it.
Thanks for the help.
