3709.0. "pointer doesn't select form screen" by MLNCSC::VOCI () Thu Nov 22 1990 04:53

    
    Hello,
    
    a customer starts decwindows, a fileview is started automaticaly,
    but when he clicks on the mouse to select a choice or a menu' nothing on
    the screen reacts (moving the mounse the pointer moves normaly). 
    I've checked the decw$server_error_0.log and the decw$sm.log but they 
    are empty. He uses decwindow from a vt390, everything worked fine
    before they upgraded the gpx to a 3600. I made a tailor of and then
    a tailor on but nothing changed.
    
    Maybe you have to change some parameters, depending of the fact they
    made the upgrade ?
    
    Any ideas wellcome!
    Thanks,
    Gea.

	What version of DECwindows? Are you sure the mouse isn't set up for a left handed user? Have you tried all three buttons? If it's V3 DECwindows, are you running with the XUI window manager? The V3 Session Manager and FileView don't work well with the old window manager in IFT version.
