3262.0. "V3.0 probs ? Control Panel blocks activity; dead window" by NPSS::BENZ (I'm an idiot, and I vote) Wed Apr 09 1997 11:58

    I think that I prefer V2.1-309 to V3... so far, anyways.
    
    I've seen 2 different problems, but they won't necessarily repeat easily.
    
    The first problem was that when I went to enable Foreign Window
    Managers, I saw that the cursor went to a hourglass when over dxterms,
    and I could not type into them while the control panel was up. I
    do not recall whether this was before I hit the setting.  But I 
    declined to restart the server immediately, and then whenever I popped
    up the control panel, I still saw that I could not type into dxterms
    until I closed the panel. I do see that after restarting the server,
    that I can now type into dxterms while the panel is up.
    
    Also, a 'dinotrace' window that I had up, then closed (by exiting the
    application) did not go away.  And repeated 'restore' and 'minimize'
    operations did not get it to go away - it stuck around until I
    restarted the server.

You should be able to type in dxterms while control panel is up.
Can you figure out a way to reproduce that problem ?

As for the sticky-window problem, I just fixed that, so it will be in the
pathworks 7.0A release.

    If the control panel problem ever occurs again, I'll try to figure out
    how it happened.
