I have an application on a UnixWare system that has a text box hidden behind a label. The user is able to traverse to the hidden text box and certain events are triggered when this traversal happens. I've ported this same code to RedHat Linux 7.3 with a 2.4-22 kernel, XFree86-4.2.1-13.73.23 and openmotif-2.2.2-5. I find that the hidden text box is not part of the traversal list, so at the critical point when the user arrows down the desired events are not triggered. I know I can come up with a way to handle this situation in the application, but I wonder if there's some switch somewhere that needs a value that will cause an obscured text box to be part of the traversal order. The more I type the more I think this is really an Xt issue, but on the other hand perhaps not.

Thank you in advance for any helpful advice you give toward resolving this issue!
