Solaris 9 9/04 Release Notes

Motif Tear-Off Menus Cannot Be Closed (5051929)

Motif tear-off menus cannot be closed after you have completed the tear-off steps. For example, the problem occurs when you perform the following steps:

  1. Choose the File menu from the CDE Calendar Manager.

  2. Choose the dotted line at the top of the menu.

    The File menu is re-created as an independent dialog box that contains buttons for each menu item.

Using the window manager menu to close the tear-off menu does not work. If you minimize the application, the tear-off menu is also iconified but does not completely close. The menu closes only if you exit the application.

Workaround: Do not use tear-off menus.
