Dear Colleagues,

I am having a problem with setting the cursor position in a multi
line input object. I used fl_set_input_cursorpos(obj,x,y) where x is
the number of characters from the left and y is the line number.
The cursor alway moves to the correct position given by x but does not
move to line y. So no matter what value y is the cursor moves only
within a single line. (Xforms version 0.88, SGI Irix 6.2. Found the same
thing under Linux). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

P.S. I can provide an example (a simple modification of
the demo program minput.c) upon request.
