Bug Fixes

BZ#866499
Under certain circumstances, closing an application using a text or a combo box widget could result in an invalid memory access for widgets that were already destroyed. A patch has been provided to address this issue and freed memory is no longer accessed in the described scenario.
BZ#866496
Prior to this update, the insertion cursor of a text widget could have a shadow border line under certain settings. This bug has been fixed and the cursor now displays correctly at all times.
BZ#867463
Due to 32-bit time stamp issues, attempting to copy and paste on a 64-bit architecture using the clipboard could fail occasionally. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to ensure the time stamp always contains a "CARD32" value, so that copy and paste on 64-bit architectures works as expected.
Users of openmotif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
