I have had an irritating long term low priority problem with applications built
with a static Motif library. When application display a XmTextWidget,
the [RETURN] does not work. Ie the default widget translation:
~Alt ~Shift ~Ctrl <Key>Return newline()
does not seem to work at all on my environment. The translation seems to
be ignore. I tried setting the action to `activate()', I have __not__ been playing
with the X keymap and the `~/.motifbind' file that I have around seems to be
quite correct. I tried setting an override translation
in my ~/.Xdefaults file and then asking `xrdb' to reload the file. No it did not
work. This strange behaviour happens in the JDK and in Netscape.
It seems that the virtual motif bindings for ``osfActivate'' dont work
for me. BTW: I am using `fvwm 2'
My only solution is to use Ctrl-J a la GNU Emacs to get around.
Does any one know the cure for this weird behaviour?
Cheers
Peter
