Bug#378779: xmessage -default ignores -print
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
File: /usr/bin/xmessage
Clicking c produces as expected:
$ xmessage -buttons a,b,c,d -default c -print bla; echo $?
c
103
However just hitting RETURN ignores -print!:
$ xmessage -buttons a,b,c,d -default c -print bla; echo $?
103
Also if the user used "-default u" there should be an error "u is not
one of the buttons".
Also on the man page,
-print This will cause the program to write the label of the button
pressed to standard output. Equivalent to setting the print-
Value resource to TRUE. This is one way to get feedback as to
which button was pressed.
add
The exit value is still set as above.
