Hi,

I have a problem with using an insensitive stipple bitmap with OpenMotif2.3 on Linux RedHat EL5. (openmotif-2.3.0-0.3.el5)

I am setting the insensitive stipple bitmap to solid/1 so I can just lighten the font colour to make text more readable when setting fields inactive.

static unsigned char g_stippleBitmap[32] =<br />
    {  0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,<br />
       0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,<br />
       0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,<br />
       0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF };</p>
<p>CreateTopWindow(...)<br />
{<br />
...<br />
  Screen *screen = XtScreen(the_app_shell);<br />
  Widget xmScreen = XmGetXmScreen(screen);<br />
  xd->m_insensitiveStipplePixmap =<br />
    XCreateBitmapFromData(display, XtWindow(the_app_shell),<br />
			  (char *)(g_stippleBitmap), 16, 16);</p>
<p>  if (xd->m_insensitiveStipplePixmap != XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP)<br />
  {<br />
    XtVaSetValues(xmScreen,<br />
   	        XmNinsensitiveStippleBitmap, xd->m_insensitiveStipplePixmap,<br />
	        0);<br />
  }<br />
...<br />
}

This works on fine Linux RedHat EL3 (openmotif-2.2.3-5.RHEL3.7) and EL 4 (openmotif-devel-2.2.3-10.1.el4) However on RH EL5, text on menus/labels and buttons completely disappear. I tried inverting the bitmap, which fixes the problem with labels, however, text boxes then lose their text when set insensitive. I can get around plain text boxes by not actually setting them insensitive and just making them not editable, but for pulldown lists/combo boxes and numeric fields (with up/down arrow buttons) I don't seem to have any choice.

So I am stuck.

I have searched the forum and bugs, and it sounds like it may be related to bugs 1297 and/or 1381, but it happens with both anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased fonts, and neither issue appear to be fixed as yet.

Help would be very much appreciated.
