I have a "strange situation" - I'm not willing to call it a bug,
but it sure is weird. I have a form that contains a multi-line
text widget, 3 list widgets, and a row-column widget that contains
push buttons. I have set my tab groups using XmAddTabGroup so that
the traversal goes text -> list A -> list B -> 1st button in my
row-column -> text -> etc. That is working great. Now comes the
fun part. When I click mouse button 1 on any of the scrollbars on
my lists, the input focus changes like I'm tabbing. The list scrolls
and works fine, but you can watch the different widgets becoming
highlighted as you scroll!.

I'm not willing to call this a bug (yet), because other than the
input focus changing, the rest of the window is not affected. I need
to have those tab groups set up, so taking away the tab groups is
not a viable option. Anyone out there have any idea why this is
happening or any viable options for me to try out? I'm using Motif 1.1
under X11R4.

Thanks in advance!
