Hi,
I've just upgraded two of our developer machines from 4.0f PK1 to 5.0 all
went rather smooth. However we ran into a weird problem with our
application which we never saw before on any other platform (HP-UX,
Solaris, AIX, Linux): Many dialog boxes are too small. For instance when a
Motif dialog contains a list-box, the dialog is so small that only one
entry in the list-box is visble. The dialog needs to be manually resized
in order to be usable. This happens for many other dialogs in our
application.
We've tracked the problem down to /usr/shlib/libXm.so. When this file is
changed to one delivered with Tru64 4.0f, all is well and our appliation
behaves normally even though the Motif version delivered with the two OS
versions are the same:
$ strings /usr/shlib/libXm.4.0f.so | grep OSF/Motif
_at_(#)OSF/Motif Version 1.2.4
$ strings /usr/shlib/libXm.5.0.so | grep OSF/Motif
_at_(#)OSF/Motif Version 1.2.4
Any idea anyone what was changed in libXm.so between 4.0F and 5.0?
And yes: We have XmNresizePolicy = XmRESIZE_NONE in our dialogs.
Thanks for any hints // Tom
