Package: xterm Version: 258-1 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd
This problem is fairly weird and hard to describe so bear with me. It only affects xterm. I'm reporting this in rxvt, which doesn't suffer from that problem. The problem is this: the display doesn't scroll once you get to the bottom of the screen. So for example, if you cat(1) a file that has more lines that what you have in your terminal, you'll only see the top of the file even though cat(1) showed the whole file. This gives... interesting results in ncurses based programs like irssi or screen (hint: it's just messed up). I recently did the following upgrades: kfreebsd-image-7-486 7.2-11 -> 7.3-1 xorg 1:7.5+5 -> 1:7.5+6 xterm 256-1 -> 258-1 (amongst ~420 others). So this is certainly a regression with one of those. When I install xterm-256, the bug goes away, so I decided to report this against xterm. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i686) Kernel: kFreeBSD 7.3-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_CA.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc0.1 2.10.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libutempter0 1.1.5-3 A privileged helper for utmp/wtmp ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.1.0-1 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.5+3 X11 utilities Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
