Here is an example bug report:

Dear Tioga Researchers,

I think I have encountered a bug using DataSplash ver. 0.10, Mesa ver 2.0, Posgres95 ver. 1.2, XForms ver. 0.83, Tooltips ver. 0.02f running on an Intel Pentium box with Linux ver. 1.2.13. My window manager is FVWM.

The bug occurs whenever I try to draw a trim rectangle. I believe there are supposed to be nine handles for a relatively large selected rectangle, but I am only seeing three handles. This bug only occurs right after I draw a trim rectangle for the first time in the canvas. At all other times, the relatively large trim rectangle has nine handles when it is selected in the canvas.

Thanks!
