If Emacs is configured --without-toolkit-scroll-bars, C-mouse-2 on the scroll bar does work. +* Problems in Emacs built with LessTif. + +The problems seem to depend on the version of LessTif and the Motif +emulation for which it is set up. + +To the best of our knowledge, only the Motif 1.2 emulation seemed to +be stable enough in LessTif. Lesstif 0.92-17's Motif 1.2 emulation +seems to work okay on FreeBSD. On GNU/Linux systems, lesstif-0.92.6 +configured with "./configure --enable-build-12 --enable-default-12" is +reported to be the most successful. By contrast, +lesstif-0.92.0-1.i386.rpm was reported to have problems with menu +placement, and should probably be avoided. + +On some systems, even with Motif 1.2 emulation, Emacs occasionally +locks up, grabbing all mouse and keyboard events. The mouse still +moves, but will not go outside of the Emacs window (so you can't get +it over the frame title barm, for instance). None of the menus are +responsive. In addition, the keyboard will not respond. Keypresses +are totally ignored, including Ctrl-Alt-F1 to Ctrl-Alt-F6. This means +you can not even get to the virtual console. + +We still don't know what causes these problems; they are not +reproducible on some systems, notably those used by Emacs developers. + * Some accented ISO-8859-1 characters or umlauts are displayed as | or _.
