Package: w3m Version: 0.5.1-5 Severity: normal On the linux VGA 80x25 textmode console (no graphical framebuffer), the mouse only works as expected when a prompt is active.
Details: * Start "w3m -config /dev/null www.debian.org" (just as example) There is no mouse cursor visible, and w3m doesn't react to any mouse movement or clicking. When holding down a modifier key (shift, alt, ctrl, ...), the mouse cursor is visible, and the mouse is in the normal copy-and-paste mode, which would be the default behavior on the console. * Hit 'U' to enter a URL or '#' to read a shell command or probably just any other command that makes w3m prompt. Now the mouse works as expected; you can scroll around and double-click links. Note that if you tried to scroll and double-click links before a prompt was active, all these actions are processed "belatedly" as soon as a prompt appears. * Hitting Ctrl-G to "close" the prompt makes the mouse seemingly unavailable again. This only happens on the console with gpm; in an xterm, everything works fine. The behavior is not related to the visited site. As (at least at a first glance), gpm seems to work with e.g. jed, I presume that this bug belongs to w3m (or maybe ncurses, since jed uses only libslang). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages w3m depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgc1c2 1:6.7-2 conservative garbage collector for ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-22 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8b-2 SSL shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages w3m recommends: ii ca-certificates 20050804 Common CA Certificates PEM files -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
