OpenVMS/Alpha V7.1, Dec C V5.5-002, Motif V1.2-4, debug V7.1 I am posting this just to see if it sounds familiar to anyone. I only have a customer's description of the problem. My customer is reporting a problem with the debugger. He is doing the following. - using decwindows version of the debugger - his program uses decwindows calls (don't know which one) to establish a callback routine. - sets a break on the callback routine. - activates the callback by using a cascade button (I'm a bit shakey on this part. However, the customer did state that this only seems to happen when he uses the cascade button). - gets the break. - nothing works after the break. He can't switch windows, change the debugger 'input focus', run the program, or anything. The only thing he can do is log in to another session and kill the debug session. I know that this is a pretty sketchy problem statement, but I wanted to go ahead and post what I know in hopes that I might get lucky. If none of this sounds familiar, I'll try to get more info. Is there anything in particular (other than a reproducer) that I should ask for? Thanks, Jerry

Hi Jerry - Here is a release note from the Dragon (V6.0?) release notes (simply because that is what I have on hand): >DECwindows Motif Interface Restrictions and Problems > > The following problems or restrictions are specific to the > DECwindows Motif interface: > >... > * If you are stopped at a breakpoint, in a routine which has > gotten control of the mouse pointer via a PointerGrab or a > KeyboardGrab, you will hang your worksation. > > To work around this problem, debug your program using two > workstations. For more information, see the OpenVMS Debugger > Manual. As of V7.0 (I think, but certainly V7.1) we have been trying to move the permanent restictions (such as the one above) into the manual, so if you/he is using a recent version of the debugger, you will probably have to look through the manual to find this same information.
