Hi,

I used 'libforms.so.0.84' up to now. Today I got '0.86.1' an I
dicovered a strange behaviour: All text typed in a normal input
field is invisible but the cursor proceeds.

I then relinked with the 0.84 library and everything worked as
expected.

My environment is a SuSE-Linux, Kernel 2.0.25, GCC 2.7.2.1,
'libforms.so.0.86' (fix 1). It only happens on my NCD ExploraPro
Xterminal, where I'm usually working, with unknown graphics
hardware and unknown Xserver. This server only has 256 colors.

It does not happen on the Linux console where XFree is running
in 256 color mode, though!

Remember: It only happens with 0.86.1, not with 0.84 that I
used before!

Thanks for any help,
Frank.

BTW: Choice object and browser entries have visible texts as
usual.
