Subject: Bug#128426: ddd: Dialogs mangled by repetitive text
From: Johan Walles <johan@appeal.se>

Package: ddd
Version: 1:3.3.1-8
Severity: normal

All dialogs are more or less unreadable because some text lines get
repeated lots of times, while other lines of text are not visible at
all.  Screenshot attached.  Note that I'm not too good at uuencoding
stuff, so if it's broken I, let me know and I'll send you a mail with
the screenshot.

I can reproduce this problem, but I have no idea how to fix it. I suspect it
might be a LessTif issue, as older builds of this DDD version did not have
the problem (AFAIK), but switching to current LessTif CVS does not fix it.

Apparently I was wrong here. The problem is reproducible when DDD is built
against "Open"Motif 2.2.1-1 as well.
