What were you trying to do?
Look at the pop-down menu named "Committees"
What's wrong:
It is impossible to position the xinfo window in a manner that
allows seeing the entire "Committees" menu. Under mwm, the lowest entry
visible is "Committee on International Institute Commitments (CIIC)";
"Committee on Library Systems" is directly below this, and can be selected
by pulling the mouse down further and selecting a truncated empty rectangle.
I don't know whether anything is below this entry.
Running xinfo from the "Other Options" menu of the login screen
results in an xinfo window with less border decoration (as there's no
window manager running), and then the menu gets cut off in the middle
of "Committee on Library Systems".
What should have happened:
Since other large menus are positioned to the side of or above the
place from which they're selected, this menu should be moved where there's
more room as well.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
