#551 File dialog filter problem with * or [ in directory

[Alex Schuster]

1. mkdir 'xx*xx'
2. nedit
3. Open file dialog.
4. Select xx*xx directory (without descending into
it).
5. Goto 4 and watch how the filter gets a /xx*xx
inserted each time.

This also happens with a [ in a directory's name.

The [ also seems to behave exactly as the * in the
filter, is this intentional?

I don't see it:

I also have these entries in ~/.Xresources:
*XmFileSelectionBox.resizePolicy: XmRESIZE_NONE
*XmFileSelectionBox.pathMode: XmPATH_MODE_RELATIVE
*XmFileSelectionBox.width: 500
*XmFileSelectionBox.height: 500

Could you please test them?

About the [: I see a slightly different thing, namely that
any [ in the Filter field sets the filter field to *. The
difference is that eg. 't*' would only find files starting
with t, 't[' would find any file. Is this what you see?

Probably a Motif bug.

The bug does not happen when the pathMode is set to
XmPATH_MODE_RELATIVE.

You are sort of right about the [/* difference, t[ indeed
finds any file. That is, UNLESS I use the
XmPATH_MODE_RELATIVE resouce. In that case, k* also finds
ANY file.

Another thing I noticed, not related to the [/* problem:
Changing the path part of the filter and pressing enter or
the Filter button does not change anything, if the path is
not existing. Bug or feature?

Is this all with your version of 5.5 indicated in the
initial text? (Let's ignore the older version, Motif 2.2.2
is very buggy.)

Non-existing path: Looks like a bug, again probably Motif's
not NEdit's.

I tested this with Lessitf 2.1/0.93.94. The FSB looks
different, but I see no problem.

Any idea how to reproduce this? Anyone?

Yes, that's with 5.5.

I also tried with CygWin + LessTif 2.1/0.93.94, there is no
such problem.

I will file a bug at bugs.openmotif.org then.
