Details
Description:
xfig starts OK, and I can select "Grid mode" and choose a grid successfully. But if I the try to select a drawing operation such as drawing a rectangle, the program hangs before it can show the options buttons across the bottom. 'top' reports that xfig is in the run queue and using 100%. The window's "Close" button is ineffective, program has to be killed to stop it. Additional info: * package version(s): xfig 3.2.5b-7 System fully up to date as at Feb 28 2012, linux-3.2.7-1, KDE 4.8.00 xfig-3.2.5b-5 (installed Jan 16) worked OK on the same hardware. xfig-3.2.5b-7 was installed Feb 6, but has not been used until now, when this bug showed up. Other drawing programs such as inkscape still work OK. A thought: there have been some significant upgrades of other packages since I last used xfig a month or so ago, e.g. font handling. Unlikely to be an upstream problem: the latest xfig release works OK on a Mandriva system that I also use. Steps to reproduce: See the description above. |

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: xfig-3.2.5b-8 uses libxaw instead of xaw3d. Should fix the problems mentionned here.

Additional information: I tried recompiling the source (with patches to f_readpng.c, f_wrpng.c,..) and the same problem recurred. I then tried commenting out the "#define XAW3D" in the Imakefile, and the bug disappears, though it does have a problem finding fonts.
Progress! The earlier working version used libxaw3d 1.5E-3, the buggy version used libxaw3d 1.6-1.

Perhaps this error is related with the other -already closed- one?
check if you can apply the mentioned workaround.
Edit: mmm it seems this should have been solved with xaw3d 1.6.1. bummer !
#define XAW3D
also worked!
I use this program for my work, so it is quite annoying that it doesn't work because of a buggy widget set (which widget set I never use).
Removing "#define XAW3D" works out for me, too!
