Full_Name: Tom Jones
Version: 2.4.11 - 2.4.13
CVS_Date:
OS: Solaris 8
X_Server: Xsun
Submission from: (NULL) (128.16.10.151)
Dragging a window off the top-right or bottom-left corners of the screen
causes an immediate crash of fvwm. This is with a fvwm compiled with gcc
2.95.2 under Solaris 8.
The problem is only exhibited under Solaris 8. Using the same binaries
under 9, the problem doesn't occur. The problem also doesn't occur under
Solaris 7 (using binaries compiled under Solaris 7). Under 8, the problem
is perfectly reproducible.
The machines on which this bug was noticed are a SunBlade 100s. When trying
it on a SPARCstation 20 (which is not an ultra), this problem does not
occur.
You can drag windows off the top-left and bottom-right corners just fine.
The problem occurs with all configuration files we've tried, and it also
occurs in the absence of any configuration file.
The behaviour is identical in both versions of fvwm that I've tried: 2.4.11
and 2.4.13.
The last few lines of configure's output was:
FVWM Configuration:
Version: 2.4.11
Executables: /opt/UCLCSxcontrib/bin
Man pages: /opt/UCLCSxcontrib/man
Modules: /opt/UCLCSxcontrib/libexec/fvwm/2.4.11
Data files: /opt/UCLCSxcontrib/share/fvwm
With GNOME Window Manager hints? yes
With GTK support for FvwmGtk? no: Failed to detect GTK, see
config.log
With Multibyte support? no: Use --enable-multibyte to enable
With ReadLine sup. in FvwmConsole? yes
With RPlay support in FvwmEvent? no: Can't find working librplay
With Shaped window support? yes
With Session Management support? yes
With Stroke support? no: Can't find working libstroke
With Xinerama support? no: Failed to detect libXinerama
With XPM support? no: Can't find working libXpm
I'll stop there for now in case you already know what the problem is, but
I'm happy to do a more detailed bug report if not.
thanks,
Tom.
