Version: 2.3.4-1
Severity: normal
Motif 2.3.4 includes a fix for upstream bug #1565 (The active window
changes to inactive when the drop down
list is clicked) [1]. A side-effect of this fix is that keyboard
navigation of menus does not work correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
Install and run xball (or any other Motif application with a menu bar).
Click on 'File' in the menu bar (or press Alt-F).
Now press Left Arrow or Right Arrow and the highlight should move left
and right through the horizontal menu options (File, Actions, Options
and Help).
Now press Up Arrow, Down Arrow or Enter and nothing happens.
Rebuilding Motif without fix #1565, as suggested in the
cdesktopenv-devel mailing list [2], solves the problem.
While testing Motif built without fix #1565 applied, I have been unable
to reproduce the original bug.
i.e. I have not seen an active window change to inactive when a drop
down list is clicked, even when testing reproducer.tar.gz attached to
the upstream bug report.
