Hi,
I believe an update to our ROOT version may have broken some code. We
are now running ROOT 3.01/05 13 March 2002 under RedHat 2.4.9-31smp i686.
(I'm somewhat unsure about the RedHat version number.)
The problematic code is at the URLs at the bottom of this
message.
Before the update, the following would work as expected:
char* reply;
new TTextInputDialog("Title", "Message", &reply);
That is, reply would contain a pointer to the user's response to the input
dialog. Now, as soon as the dialog appears, the following error
message is printed:
Error in <RootX11ErrorHandler>: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
(XID: 3748815)
After the error message is printed, the dialog is left up and appears to
operate normally (button presses work, the user can enter text and can
dismiss the dialog), but rather than blocking, ROOT has returned from the
constructor. In the interpreter, after the error message appears, ROOT will
keep on bringing up the text input dialog.
Has the proper way to use TGClient::WaitForUnmap changed? I suspect there
was a bug in my code that didn't have any noticeable effects until a change
was made in ROOT.
In an earlier message to roottalk, it was noted that this error
message usually appears in response to an attempt to access a window that's
been deleted. I don't see where this could be happening in my code, though.
Has anyone seen a similar problem? Ideas on a solution?
Thank you.
David
