[Xcircuit-dev] No menu response in XCircuit

[R. Timothy Edwards]

Dear Dave,

This only happens in the non-Tcl version of XCircuit, and it can be
worked around by turning off the "Num Lock" key.  Personally, though,
I would suggest downloading the latest XCircuit version 3.6 and
compiling with Tcl support.  It would be helpful if the Ubuntu
maintainers would provide the Tcl-based version as a package.  However,
compiling and installing from source is not difficult.
