I have had problems with 1.1 on X11R5. These problems went away with 1.2.
Admittedly, some of these problems were related to the Berkeley version of
the portable C compiler's well known pop-order bug and libXt, but some were
decidedly bad interactions.
Are you direct widget-level programming in Motif, or are you using UIL/an
app generator/standard applications?
I also saw problems with menus not coming active unless you let go of the
button popping up the menu, then quickly pressed it again (not in the menu
area) to get the menu selection bar to follow the mouse.
