Max, Many thanks for your rapid and helpful response!
I followed your instructions: > git clone https://github.com/maxatome/ctwm-mirror.git > cd ctwm-mirror > make > ls -la build/ctwm then copied the new ctwm to replace the old one and did ctwm --replace & And it seems to have fixed the problem. I suspect this has also fixed a related Firefox problem. If I selected a url from a text file (e.g. email message) then paste it into the firefox address bar in a newly created tab, Firefox would often insert a previously used url instead of the one I was trying to paste in. I would then have to delete the old url and copy in the desired one again. Could that have been caused by the same flaw in ctwm? Anyhow, I am very grateful for the fix!
