Hi Paul, Sorry it took me long to get to this issue. I just tested the newer grace on "testing" repository of Debian, here's the result:
(1) no more crash as we press Esc -- but see point (3) below >From this testing I found that there are some notable differences between motif and lesstif2 from user's experience: (2) When we press a menu shortcut key from main window (say, Alt+F), then pressing "down" arrow will NOT bring the highlight to one item below the current; rather it simply closes the menu. This is surprising. (3) In the "Set Appearance" window, when I right-click the mouse on the dataset list, as soon as the mouse button is released, the local context menu disappears! Of course, I don't have a chance to press Esc! Are these intended behavior of the original libmotif? So it appears that these may introduce surprise to those who are used to xmgrace built against lesstif2. Note: My testing system (run under KVM) is using Debian Wheezy amd64 as the base installation, then I simply added testing repo and use `apt-get -t testing install grace' to upgrade to the newer grace that uses libmotif.
