xcircuit: make user defined object (hit m key) doesn't give a pop-up dialog like the docs say

Question

I'm using xcircuit v3.10 rev 12 on arch linux. When I draw a new object and press the m key (or select edit-> make user object) the docs say I should get a popup dialog prompting me for a name. Nothing comes up. Any ideas?

Did you ask at the forums of the EDA project? – the busybee Feb 11 '20 at 07:31 — the busybee, Feb 11 '20 at 07:31

The problem was that mouse button 2 select method (simulated by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously and dragging) wasn't working on my laptop. On a different computer it works fine, and by starting xcircuit with -2 it works as well. So, sorry for the noise....
