Hi Brian,
I checked with the author of the software to find out if he was aware
of similar problems using xmbase-grok with lesstif. Below is his
response:
That code is a little unusual - the pulldown is built when it
is drawn, to make sure it's always up to date. I am afraid I
can't reproduce the problem because I have neither Windows nor
Cygwin. I don't think Lesstif is the problem because I use that
every day.
Thanks,
Marc
