2325.0. "wrong way to close the navigation window" by SGWS::SID (Sid Gordon @ISO) Wed Feb 12 1992 11:45

I'm using DECMCC T1.2.4 on VMS V5.4-3 with Motif.

When I open the navigation window, I get a "motif" style window.
When I click on the minus sign in the upper left corner, I get the
usual menu (move, size, maximize, etc.) and when I click on "close"
(to close the navigation window) MCC dies (i.e., all the windows close
and the main process hangs - even ^Y doesn't help).

I realize the correct way to close the navigation window is to click on
the corner a second time, but I didn't expect to be so severely punished
for this mistake.

It's easily reproduceble here.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

    It happened to me too; not only with the navigation window
    but apparently with any MCC window. I assume that 'window
    close' does something like a stop/id to the process. But
    then I'm in no way a MOTIF expert. I always try to avoid the
    'window close', not only for MCC.

    Is there a way for the application to intercept this 'close'
    request? I'm almost sure there is, but I think it can only
    be done if you build the application against the MOTIF
    toolkit which in case of MCC is planned for a future
    release...
