Error

Having a look on the Motif- and Java GUI messagebrowser shows differences for duplicate messages.
I
t can even create the impression that messages are missing if there are a lot of messages displayed in the messagebrowser.

Cause

In Motif GUI messagebrowser:
The first appearance of a message is displayed and all newer ones are counted as duplicates and are appended as annotations to the first message.

In Java GUI messagebrowser:
The most up to date message is shown and all the older ones are counted as duplicates and are appended as annotations.

Default messagebrowser view is "sorted by time".
This creates the impression that there is a difference in messages which in fact is not the case.

Fix

No problem but a difference how duplicate messages are displayed
The Motif GUI displays the timestamp of the oldest entry and adds all the new ones as annotations
The Java GUI displays the most recent entry time and adds all older messages as annotations
