I use xterm for all of my X11-based terminal needs. I'm used to a lot of its features. One of the features I'm used to is focus being indicated by whether the block cursor is solid (has focus) or outline (doesn't have focus). For some reason, however, my xterms sometimes just keep the block cursor solid no matter what (which causes me to type in the wrong window as I automatically assume that the xterm with the solid cursor is focused).
There is a workaround, which is to check Secure Keyboard in the ctrl-left menu, move out of the window, then back into the window, then uncheck Secure Keyboard. It is annoying, however. I have not been able to identify when or how it is caused. It is possible that having made libXaw a symbolic link to libXaw3d, it has something to do with that, but since I can't dependably reproduce it I haven't been able to test that theory. I am absolutely certain that alwaysHighlight (which disables the focus indication) is set to false: % appres XTerm | grep -i always XTerm*alwaysHighlight: false % appres xterm | grep -i always % Version details: xterm 4.2.1-3 xlibs 4.2.1-3 xaw3dg 1.5-20 sawfish 1:1.1a-5 The window manager may or may not be irrelevant. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what's causing it, or have a fix? --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
