Bug#152089: xmbase-grok very buggy when built against lesstif
Package: xmbase-grok
Version: 1.5-1
xmbase-grok still does not seem to work too well with lesstif.
If I use 1.5-1 with lesstif1_0.93.18-5 or lesstif1_0.92.26-1 the
following severe bug occurs reproducibly:
* start grok
* open an example database
* change sort order a few times ("Sort" menu)
-> the lower half of the display (where details about the selected data
record are shown) goes blank (grey) and remains that way
This makes grok practically useless.
If I use grok with lesstif1 version 1:0.89.4-3 the above bug goes away,
but grok silently & immediately exits if I open a large database
(anyway, grok should work with the latest lesstif package).
If xmbase-grok is compiled against OpenMotif (using the libmotif-*
packages from Debian) both bugs go away.
Proposal: Compile xmbase-grok against OpenMotif until lesstif is up to
the job. If that is not feasible, I hope this bugreport will at least
warn people.
Versions of other relevant packages:
Kernel: 2.4.18-k6
libc6: 2.2.5-3
xlibs: 4.1.0-14
