Package: elvis Version: 2.2.0-2 Followup-For: Bug #290689
This additional info after mail from steve kirkendall My cursor color statement was color cursor red on black. Changing it to color cursor red on red effectively solves the problem .. However I am not entirely sure that the explained behavior is correct. I do not 'really' understand exactly when 'owning selection' occurs. That is why I explain again what happens. (or better happened) when I have some text and click-and-hold the left mouse button to start rubbering some text selection. The cursor color remains black. As long as I move the mouse with button pressed the color remains the same. However, the moment I release the button the cursor takes a black color (even when the selection is still highlighted). What I find strange with this is that 'owning selection' seems a permanent thing. You make it sound that the color the cursor takes depends on some X-state. This sounds to me that one can go from one state to another and back. If that is the case why then does the cursor color never go back to the 'origninal' state. When the elvis is not in focus (i.e some other window is on top) the cursor never changes color but goes from a fully filled red sequare (focus) to a hollow shaped cursor (no focus). If all this is expected behavior the bug can be closed Thanx for the swift reply -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages elvis depends on: ii elvis-common 2.2.0-2 common files for elvis and elvis-c ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
