XWin-4.3.0-66 bug in task-bar buttons.


  					  	
  Hi,
I have to report that XWin-4.3.0-66, which is a lot better
than previous versions with respect to errors in exiting,
still presents a bug related to the About and Exit panels.

$ uname -sr
CYGWIN_95-4.0 1.5.10s(0.113/4/2)

If XWin is run as "XWin &" and if the X window is NOT
minimized then the "About" and "Exit" buttons of the
task-bar menu behave correctly, but if the X window is
minimized and any of these two buttons is pressed then
the following happens:

1- The corresponding panel never appears.

2- The task-bar icon button appears as clicked, but it is
actually inactive. It is no longer possible to redraw the
X window by clicking the icon button, even when it recovers
its non-clicked appearance after focusing another window.

3- The X window can be redrawn with the Redraw (Restore?)
item of the menu associated to the task-bar icon. After
that the redraw-minimizing functionality of the icon button
is recovered.

4- Even in the case of the point 3, the task-bar button that
was originally clicked remains inactivated.

5- If the "Exit" button was the originally clicked, then
the X button at the right-top corner of the window, the
"Close" item of the icon menu and the Alt+F4 keyboard
combination are also inactivated (that is the Exit panel
never appears)
 
6- The Exit functionality is recovered after any X client is
opened. 

The XWin.log included in the attachments corresponds to the
following actions:

a) "XWin &" is run
b) With the X window opened the "About" button is clicked and
then the Dismiss button is clicked.
c) The X window is minimized and then the "About" button is
clicked.
d) The X window is Redrawn with the Redraw(?) button of the
icon menu.
e) The X button is clicked and then the "Cancel" button of the
"Exit" panel is clicked.
f) The X window is minimized and then the "Exit" button is
clicked.
g) The X window is Redrawn with the Redraw(?) button of the
icon menu.
h) The program xeyes is run and then closed.
i) The  X button is clicked and then the "Exit" button of
the "Exit" panel is clicked.

I hope that this report could be useful.

Rodrigo Medina.

Note: The X icon that appears in the Exit and About panels
is awful.
