Re: Right-click on text area freezes X server


Hi,

This problem goot solved by using xorg-server 1.8.2-1.
Point 2 (Slow response to keypresses in xorg-server-1.8.0-1) did not arise anymore, neither.
Point 6 (frozen XDMCP session) is still there.

Thanks for the excellent work.

Hi,

This problem can easily be reproduced:
- rlogin on a HP-UX 11.00
- start the wdb debugger (5.5.0)
- right click on any text area field on it (e.g. source file or gdb command output)
- X server hangs, meaning
  - the mouse cursor changes from a right2left arrow to a left2right one (and you can still move it around)
  - any type of mouse clicks have no effect (on any X Windows)
  - any keyboard input has no effect (including ESC)

Killing the wdb (telnet from DOS + kill -9) unlocks the X server.

The same happens when right clicking on any element in a xclearcase window (e.g. a file or a file version).

Details:
1) I'm using a recent install of cygwin (July 2010) on XP Pro SP3 (bootcamped on a MacPro)
2) I downgraded xorg-server from 1.8.0-1 to 1.7.6-2 due to another bug (Slow response to keypresses in xorg-server-1.8.0-1, http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2010-07/msg00000.html). (I coulnd't find the mentioned 1.8.0-2 version in the cygwin setup, not even by selecting the experimental category)
3) I was going through the FAQs and mailing list and checked stuff like not having XAPPLRESDIR, XCMSDB, XNLSPATH and XKEYSYMDB defined.
4) I use the default Xserver startup shortcut (startxwin.exe), then start a local xterm and rlogin to the HP-UX.
5) No customization besides xterm menus in .XWinrc and "xhost +" in .startxwinrc
6) I get also a frozen X Server by left clicking twice on a drop-down menu (like the Personal Applications or Printer) in the CDE bottom bar on HP-UX 11.00 using XDMCP. This has already been reported as Bug 27295 - input freezes in XDMCP session with Solaris 10 CDE when interacting with panel (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27295).
7) I don't have any of the above three problems on a another machine using xorg-server 1.5.3-7.
8) These are offline machines (not connected to the Internet), so I can't use cygwin setup directly.
9) I'm using also SFU NFS client (installed only this package of the SFU "suite").
10) Exceed is also installed (but not running at the same time of course)
11) cygcheck and XWin.o.log attached.

Any help is deeply appreciated, thanks.

Rene
