[Xcircuit-dev] No menu response in XCircuit

[Wim Vereecken]

Hi,

Probably the solution to your problem: 

http://www.opencircuitdesign.com/xcircuit/trouble.html
1. Problem: I can't get any menus!
Solution: This seems to be a perennial bugaboo with the Xw widget set. The 
menu buttons won't respond when Num Lock is on. Fortunately, this can be 
cured by turning Num Lock off. One permanent solution is to use the Tcl 
version of xcircuit (available in stable form since xcircuit version 3.1 
revision 3, February 10, 2003), which does not use the Xw widget set. 

Kind regards,
