3381.0. "copy planes" by TPOVC::JOHNNYHO () Mon Sep 24 1990 08:39

    
    XIO: non-translatable VMS error code: 0X2PBA002, VMS message
    %DECW-E-CNXABORT, connection aborted
    %XLIB-F-IOERROR, Xlib io error
    %TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic dump...
    
    The above error will occur when a user is moving mouse up and down in a
    pull-down-menu in his application while his application has been doing
    copy planes for quite a while(a picture with large size). He's using
    VMS V5.2 on VS3520.
    
    Please help. Thanks.

Most likely, the server event queue filled up to an extent that the server
had the choice of either dropping an event on the floor or aborting the
application.  It chooses the latter.  Either recode the application so that
it processes the X event queue in a more timely fashion (perhaps break the
large XCopyPlanes into several smaller calls) or tell the users to keep the
mouse quiet while the operation is in progress.

Doesn't XCopyPlanes generate Expose and NoExpose events?  This may be the
problem...you are getting a lot of events you did not expect.  You can turn
them off in the GC.
