Titlebar & -buttons problem

Hi,

I’ve tried to search this forum for help plus googled a few days for it, but with no results. I remember reading of a similar problem somewhere, but don’t remember where. I have no idea why or what causes my titlebar to stop responding to mouse bindings. For example opening alsamixer inside xterm does it, plus a dozen things I can’t tell… I don’t know where to start searching for the cause, if it’s in my config or where? Here’s my of my config file.

It’s my first config, so it’s more or less copy/paste from all over with a few changes I made. I’m using fvwm 2.5.16 on archlinux (fvwm installed from unstable repo with pacman).
Thanks,

You have a modifier such as numlock turned on. Turn it off, and read the main FAQ on the matter:

fvwm.org/documentation/faq/#0.1

…So I was right reading about it from somewhere, never would have guessed it was the MAIN FAQ! My mistake.
A humble thanks to you Thomas :slight_smile:
