I'm guessing this is under Motif? I think we fixed this in 21.4
Rats! My fingers (or brain) are on auto-pilot. If this was on 21.1 I
would not have reported it to xemacs-beta. Sorry.
The problem is on 21.4.3 "Academic Rigor" and the display is to a
FreeBSD system running Enlightenment and Gnome.
Sorry again for causing confusion on this, but I still see the
problem.
