Description:
ddd has severe refreshing problems. Scrolling is not smooth at all and a lot of warning are displayed if launched in a terminal. Building it against openmotif fixes the problem. The upstream developers of lesstif warns against using it, tellig it is unmaintained and buggy and suggest to use motif instead, see: http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/. I think it is what Archlinux should do. A few packages need updating. Additional info: * package version(s) lesstif 0.95.2-6 and ddd 3.3.12-7 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |

It does appear that it is not possible to have both openmotif and lesstif installed on a system at the same time so we must recompile all other programs that are dependent on lesstif as well. From https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lesstif/ it appears the list of dependent programs is:
ddd
fbida
freewrl
grace
nedit
xlockmore
vtk (make)
After recompiling and publishing them, we could remove the lesstif package from the database.
