Hi Alexander,

Thanks a lot for uploading this other version of XFig. The issues are gone and 
everything seems working well. Cheers!

Try version 3.2.6-3, which I just put in.  It works for me.  Somebody reminded 
me actually to check the xfig tickets. :-)

Thanks for testing that.  Hopefully this will help us narrow down the problem.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Xfig dialog windows: cannot type text

[Cuauhtémoc Salazar]

Hi Alexander,

I just tested the reverse case and the behaviour is the same: logging  from a 
Linux machine into a Mac computer and using Fink’s Xfig (with the package's 
versions described above in the thread) opens a XFig session where *any* Dialog 
Window  does not accept new text from the keyboard.

For now I will use the Linux machine’s XFig, but will keep an eye on the 
mailing list.

Thank you,
Temok

I’m curious about the reverse process, too.  If you log in to your Mac from a 
Linux machine and display your Fink xfig there, does the issue persist?

[Cuauhtémoc Salazar]

Thank you Alexander!

I’d like to mention also that this issue seems unrelated to XQuartz, since I 
can log into a linux machine and use XFig therein, displaying the graphics in 
my Mac, using XQuartz’ X11.

Cheers,
Temok

We’ve had prior reports of this issue for this version of Xfig.  I believe a 
report was filed with the Xfig developers, but I haven’t heard anything more 
about that.  

The workaround that we’ve been able to come up with so far is to copy text from 
elsewhere, and paste it into the dialog window text field using a mouse 
middle-click.  Unfortunately, that won’t help with editing the text.
