This might be an icewm problem, or please reassign to right package.

I can't reproduce the problem here (fvwm2, xpdf built with OpenMotif).
I've never used icewm, so I have no idea if it's doing anything weird.

The magnification popup menu does a cursor "grab" (meaning that it
"owns" the cursor until the menu is closed) - that's a standard X thing
(and even MS Windows has pretty much the same thing).  When the menu is
closed (if you select something, or just let go of the mouse cursor),
it's supposed to release the grab.  There was an odd bug in Motif which
was causing problems in that situation -- I don't remember the details
anymore, but if you search for "ungrab" in XPDFViewer.cc, you'll see the
workaround code.  I wonder if some combination of Lesstif and icewm and
the Xpdf code is causing the problem you're seeing.

bugs? (environment description, exact version data of all involved
software, the most reliable way to reproduce the problem, etc.pp.)

I think I can follow the other mail but a clear report following that
rules would make the maintainers much more friendlier to you.

Let me see if we mean the same thing:

 - start xpdf
 - open the Zoom menu, not closing it
 - try to do quickswitch (alt-tab), does no work

Eduard.

First lets see if you can reproduce it before I bog things up with
distracting wads.

Nope:

 - start xpdf from a shell window: $ xpdf
 - open the Zoom menu, pick any magnification, release the mouse, now
   the new magnification % appears in the bottom of the window.
 - type q quitting xpdf.
 - now the shell cursor is hollow. We cannot type into the shell.
   We must switch again to the shell window to continue typing to it!

Is your machine relatively fast or slow?

I just use the Debian defaults I think. All my ~/.icewm/preferences
has is

TitleFontName="-default-ming-bold-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-big5-0"
Theme="18k/default.theme"
WorkspaceNames="1","2"
TimeFormat="%H:%M:%S"
TaskBarShowMailboxStatus=1 # 0 / 1
MultiByte=1

/etc/X11/icewm/preferences is all comments.

M> Is your machine relatively fast or slow?
I think it's fast.  http://jidanni.org/comp/system.zip says 1005.524
MHz processor.
