XmScale does not honor XmNshowValue=XmNEAR_BORDER
This is openmotif 2.2.3 on RHEL4.6 .
Basically, it does not matter if I set XmNshowValue to XmNEAR_BORDER or XmNEAR_SLIDER. I get the XmNEAR_SLIDER behavior in either case. Any idea, anyone?
I forgot to mention, the reason I want to try XmNEAR_BORDER is that when the range of my XmScale is large (say 0 to 100000000) the value displayed next to the slider gets clipped when it is near the low end and high end of the range, particularly if XmNslidingMode is set to XmTHERMOMETER. If someone has a solution to that, I'd like to hear it as well.
I have tried this with latest OpenMotif 2.3.3 and got the same result. Looks like this is a bug in motif. I have created new bug entry on OM bugzilla http://bugs.motifzone.net/long_list.cgi?buglist=1508. It will be fixed in next OM release.
