Three bugs reported to Lispworks yesterday, all (mostly) solved today, with a single config change.

Yesterday I reported three bugs to Lispworks (mentioned here). Wade Humeniuk suggested I might have a problem with Lesstif. I switched to Open Motif (as described here) and most of my problems went away. Yay Wade!

Only one didn't go away completely. Keyboard traversal of the menus still has a very minor problem, but I can live with it. Say you have this menu structure:

File
  a
  b
  c
    d
    e
  f

And you press Alt-f to open the file menu, then down twice (to c) then right (to d) then left (back to c). After that LW ignores the up-arrow key, and the down-arrow key closes the menu.

Edit 4/11: I would imagine that this is a problem in Open Motif and not Lispworks. Just to be clear.
