Using a popup listbox, such as the pulldown on www.news.com, on an X server capable of multiple visual types (8-bit and 24-bit simultaneously) causes viewer/apprunner to crash with an BadMatch X error. The program manages to render the listbox and grab the pointer before things start going downhill. A stack trace is attached to this report.
Moving all Widget Set bugs, past and present, to new HTML Form Controls component per request from karnaze. Widget Set component will be retired shortly.
moving to XP Toolkit/Widgets since these are not HTML form controls
Now that you're at netscape and have access to workstations supporting multiple visuals, have you had a chance to reproduce the problem?

I will try and look at this in more detail for M10. I havn't been able to reproduce this in my short simple tests though. I will do more tests. What kind of display, etc is this? I don't know much about sun systems...

Target Milestone: M10
My testing happens to be on a Creator3D framebuffer, but in my experience all 24-bit workstation framebuffers (HP, DEC, SGI, Sun, IBM) support multiple bitdepths simultaneously. Just look at the output of "xdpyinfo" and see if it has different visual depths. If so, you're probably in good shape to reproduce the problem. In case this gives you a clue as to what's happening: if you turn on the gfx widgets, the same drop-down works fine and doesn't kill apprunner with a badmatch.

mcafee, slamm: can you take a look at this as you are both more familier with sparcs than I am (and you both have them)

wensleydale or worms might be good for testing this.

claudius, does this happen with Linux 6.0?
Comment 18•25 years ago
|
||
it won't happen on linux 6.0 unless you have a multivisual display, which most PC hardware and setups won't have. You will need to test this on something like a sparc. Tor, is this still happening?

This bug only happened with the native widgets, not the gfx ones. It appears that the code for the native gtk widgets has decayed to the point where they don't work at all (crashing dereferencing null pointers, etc.).

Not interested in chasing native gtk bugs for beta, do we not see this now that gfx has taken over? maybe we should mark this as won't fix?

I vote for WONTFIX but I'd like to know what the 'official' decision is on these sort of bugs.
