Corebird is a Linux/GTK Twitter client:
https://corebird.baedert.org/
In attempting to use the current version on Fedora 25, I have uncovered
a weird oddity where I cannot click links with the left mouse button when
using my FVWM configuration. Corebird recognizes that I have clicked and
will do things like select text, but does not see it as quite whatever
is needed to make it see things as a click that activates the link. A long
discussion of what I can and can't do is in my initial Fedora bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1425611
In subsequent testing I've determined that this happens with the latest
git tip (as well as the FVWM 2.6.6 that Fedora has), but only when using
my FVWM configuration or a cut-down version of it. If I start either
version of fvwm as 'fvwm -f /dev/null', clicking on links in Corebird
works fine.
I have put my current cut-down testing version of my fvwm configuration
on the web as
https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~cks/tmp/fvwm/fvwmrc-2.5
This deletes all of my modules and most of my menus (and the various
functions used by both), leaving active mostly a collection of mouse
and keyboard bindings and styles (and some settings). Testing this under
Xephyr reproduces the problem all the time.
Does anyone have any idea of where to start looking for the binding or
setting that might be doing this? I hope this is a (fvwm) bug that can
be fixed in the long run, but in the short run maybe I/we can at least
identify what FVWM setting I'm using that causes this (and maybe I can
live without it).
Thanks in advance.
