Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status Xaw3d 1.5D-4 OK xfig 3.2.4-5 OK XFree86-bin 4.3.0-8 OK
I find I still have the same problem. However, as I said before, it only happens if I'm running the motif window manager (mwm). It is otherwise not an issue under twm or if I run startxwin.bat. Thanks for all your help.

No, I used a combination of sites at times including:

I think the culprit came from
ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/cygwin/release/XFree86
I'll try what you suggested. Thank you!

Did you, by chance, use the cygwin.mirrors.pair.com mirror? It is way out of date and lists XFree86-bin-4.3.0-5 as the most recent version.
However, all other mirrors should have XFree86-bin-4.3.0-8. Those additional releases of XFree86-bin fixed the bugs that you are running into.
Update your installation with Cygwin's setup.exe using a different mirror (try mirrors.kernel.org), relaunch your apps (including XWin.exe) and report your results.

Run the following and report your results:
cygcheck -c XFree86-bin xfig Xaw3d

I did, of course. But, just in case, I tried it again and still nothing.

Keep the mouse cursor in the text entry box when typing.

xfig works fine, so far, under twm. However, I cannot enter text manually into text boxes if I'm running mwm. For instance, if I try to save the file I can't enter text into the output filename box. If there's a property, like text size, I can change it using the arrows but I cannot enter it manually. I do not have this problem under twm.
