Description Robert Hartley

Moving and resizing views does not work under Solaris / Linux-Motif

This is absolutely not true on the platform we are using to test: SunBlade, 
Solaris 5.8, CDE.

Please provide a more complete description of the platform you are using, and 
try to explain exactly what the failure mode is.

We are using fresh install of Solaris v2.7 to test Eclipse with the Sun JRE 
v1.3.1_02-b02

The January 25th stable release fixed a bug whereby the cursors now change 
depending on the allowed drop area of a window.  Also, when the cursor is over 
a resizer, it now changes to a double arrow.

Problem remains of there being no phantom rectangle to show the location of the 
window as it is being moved in the stable release.

The Dec 19/02 release had a problem whereby the cursors did not change, so 
there was no feedback that anything was happening while moving/resizing, hence 
failure mode was assumed.

Apologies to all.

The problem is that when attempting to move a view (click and hold on title 
bar) the view's outline is normally shown and the cursor shape indicates valid 
drop zones. If the Solaris X server has a default visual of 8-bits 
(PseudoColor), the outline of the window is not visible but the cursor shape 
does change. If the X server default visual is 24-bits (TrueColor), the outline 
is visible. This occurs on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8.

On Windows 2000, if the desktop is set to 256 colors, the view outline is still 
visible.

Closing for lack of activity. Please re-open if this is still an issue on current reference platforms.
