#73 Ctrl-right click quits working

[Paul E Johnson]

In Ubuntu 14.10, with mlterm 3.3.8, I DID have everything working fine. Now, the Ctrl-right click no longer activates the configuration window. I have had this problem before, was able to address it by rebuilding the mlterm packages from source. That is not helping right now.

Can you make any guesses about the cause of this problem, or fixes?

I'm sorry but mlterm 3.3.8-3.4.0 has a bug which might cause this problem.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mlterm/files/01release/mlterm-3.4.0/mlterm-3.4.0-fixes.patch/download fixes it.

Thanks very much. I wonder if you can think of a reason for this result. I applied that patch, and noticed the same patch is also already applied to your new version 3.4.2. In either case, the same weird thing happens.

If I re-start the system, the first mlterm that opens works with Ctrl-right click. However, additional mlterms do not obey the Ctrl-right click.

I don't know for sure there is an mlterm problem here, maybe more likely my system has some weirdness it it. I've got Ubuntu 14.10, but run the XFCE4 desktop. I'm wondering if I'm doing something that damages the environment so that mlterm can't get the information it needs.

I start the mlterms with a script that has these settings:

mlterm -p image.jpg --geometry=80x25 -A -w 16 -f gray90 -r 100 -H 5 -4 100 -3 40 -l 300 -b black -0 none --csp=2

Thanks for your report.
I'm sorry but I haven't succeeded to reproduce it on Ubuntu 14.10 / XFCE4 (i686 32bit) yet.
1)What happens if you add a following line to ~/.mlterm/key, start multiple mlterms and pressing F1 key on them ?
F1="menu:mlconfig"

2)Please show me ~/.mlterm/msg.log

3)Will you give me binaries built as follows if you use 32bit Ubuntu ?
$ tar xzvf mlterm-3.4.2.tar.gz
$ cd mlterm-3.4.2;./configure --prefix=$HOME/mlterm (additional options); make; sudo make install
$ tar czvf mlterm.tar.gz $HOME/mlterm
