Motif 1.0.2 plus some fixes, SunOS 4.0.3, X11R4, 
Not mentioned in 1.0.3 patch list.

The text widget has the

        Button1<PtrMoved>:      extend-adjust()

translation compiled in, but this does not appear to work.
It should allow the user to select a region by a
point-press-move-release movement.

Adding a line such as 

Thing*XmText*translations : #augment \
   Button1<PtrMoved> : extend-adjust()

works as expected.


A) Has anyone else come across this before? I have not seen any
reference to such a problem on the mail list.

B) Any ideas as to what is wrong? All the other translations seem to
work.

Richard.
