I installed 2.3.0 last night, but I'm about to revert back to 2.2.3,
because 2.3.0 has broken command-click :-(. Command key plus mouse
down in an X11 Tk window causes the expected right-mouse-button menu
to pop up for maybe a tenth of a second, and then go away again.
I need this often enough that I can't continue using 2.3.0.
Please file a bug for this at http://bugreport.apple.com
Some other issues:
* very shortly after installing 2.3.0, I had a crash-like event
wherein
all my X11 windows disappeared. I didn't get anything about "X11
unexpectedly quit", though, so I'm not sure if X11 actually died or if
it somehow interpreted what I was typing as a close-all-windows
command.
(If there is such a keyboard shortcut, it seems like a really bad
idea...) I'm not the world's best typist so I can't swear as to what
I'd actually hit, but it was *intended* to be command-N to pop up a
new xterm window.
There isn't a close-all-windows in X11.app. Did the X11 server remain
running?
* Awhile after that I had a strange episode in which an xterm seemed
to
be misbehaving in response to typed input. It was very late and I was
too tired to try to characterize the problem; it might have been just
pilot error, but it was not like anything I'd seen before. One
thing I
remember is that it allowed text to be entered above the bottom line
of the window.
That's probably a incorrectly set TERM environment variable. Check to
make sure it's set properly (probably TERM=xterm)
Sorry for not being clearer, but between this and Ralph Martin's
report it seems like 2.3.0 has some issues in input-event handling.
Yes... it would've been nice if that had been caught during the 2
month long rc process rather than two days after release... hrm... oh
well.
Thanks,
Jeremy
