> Issue: Frame positioning, and item position within the frame are not
> consistent (NEW)
>
> Kaba report that they use Visual Cafe to generate a frame, consisting
> of a number of elements. When the frame is started, neither its
> position on the screen nor its child elements are consistently
> positioned in the same place.
>
> The window manager is twm (tiny window manager)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> There are 4 main components inside the frame as follows
>
> 1) The menuBar, and its associated menu items
> 2) A textarea, with text enclosed (located under t he menubar)
> 3) Two buttons located side by side under the textareaa
>
> - After rebooting the machine, the application starts correctly, with all
> items where they are expected.
> - Starting the application a second time, shifts the textarea under the
> menubar thus hiding it.
> - Starting the application a third time, shifts the thxt area and the
> buttons under the menubar, partially hiding them
> - Starting the application subsequent times, gives the correct behaviour each
> time.

> The OS is Debian Linux, and the version is "potato"
> The JDK version is 1.2.2 on Linux
>
> I can only reproduce this problem on the twm window manager on Linux. I've
tried
> Sparc (Openwindows and CDE), Windows (98, and NT). I've even tried X-hosting
