Bug 112024 – problem with usage of "dialog" program when handled via mouse in X - items are not highlighted correctly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description pavel sanda 2005-11-09 17:53:46 UTC]

when utility "dialog" load many items on the page, from some second/third page
it doesnt reply to mouse click (ie doesnt highlight intended item)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. X-11 running, some terminal sensitive on mouse (Eterm, xterm), resized enough
to handle the window
2. to be in the directory with at least hundred files
3. command: dialog --menu bye 40 132 32 `ls` `ls`


Actual Results:  
depending on concrete input (ie contents of directory) on the end of second page
/ in the third page, items couldnt be selected by mouse

Expected Results:  
:) it could be

1. it seems dependent on "dialog" version
Version: 0.9b-20031207 worked fine on some second PC,

Version: 1.0-20050206 doesnt on my own nor on some third PC.

2. i have tried it on both xterm and Eterm, so it should not be terminal-dependent

Dialog is not maintained by the printing team.  Please do not assign bugs directly.

patch

This patch should fix it, and seems to do so for me, but I'd like someone more
familiar with the code to verify that it's actually correct first.

Fixed now, along with a version bump.
