Hi Branden,
I tried a second Fedora 38 box with vanilla installation, and that shows
the problem you described.
For now, I cannot say where the problems are but I ran into library
problems with another application, too.
Best regards,
Oliver.

Hi folks,
I could swear that at one point not too long ago, gxditview's pop-up
menu still worked. But now, for me, while it pops up with a left click
in the viewer/canvas area as it should, no menu item can be selected.
The keyboard accelerators still work, so the only feature this actually
inhibits is the printing dialog.[1] But it's still an ugly wart.
Does this work for anyone else?
Just run "gxditview", left-click in the big yellow canvas area, and try
to select _any_ menu item.
I had feared that I somehow regressed this for groff 1.23, even though I
knew I hadn't touched gxditview's widget management code, but I now
suspect trouble elsewhere. For me, the same failure occurs with groff
1.22.4 (Debian's version), stock 1.23.0, and Git HEAD.
I compiled and installed groff 1.22.3 from source, even--same problem.
Then I wanted to blame a Wayland vs. Xorg issue, mumbling something
to myself about event capture, but for me, it's broken in both.
I therefore think that either (a) I am incorrectly remembering that this
ever worked, or (b) a recent Debian package upgrade, possibly of
libxaw7, libxt6, or libx11-6, regressed this.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Branden
[1] This can be worked around by giving that dialog pop-up a keyboard
accelerator, too, like capital P (lowercase p is already taken).
