[vtkusers] vtkRenderWindowInteractor::Start() never returns

[Erin McKay]

Hmmn, I think I've got a problem, then. When I Start(), the render window appears behind the terminal window from which I launch the application (Cylinder.cxx). The only active part of the window is the button group (close, minimise, etc). Any keypress is captured by the terminal. I can close the render window but the application continues running until I hit ^C.

Also, when I run the GraphicsCxxTests, I get a render window that displays an image for rather less than a second, then disappears. Is this what I should expect? (nb. the TestCxxFeatures tests all report a pass).

I'm working on Mac OSX 10.3 using the OpenGL and Carbon frameworks, if that makes a difference.

thanks for any assistance,
erin



Hitting the 'Q' key while in the interactor makes the Start() call
unblock.  It does not mean the app has to quit then.
Hope this helps some.
