Package: xterm Version: 269-1 Severity: important
xterm display will freeze intermitently, allowing commands to be run but not showing keystrokes or results. Oddly, if this "freeze" bug occurs when I'm typing, the freeze will eat the word I'm typing and display everything up to the previous space in the command. Alt-Tab and window resize both cause the screen to refresh and display everything, but not for long. It *seems* that after rebooting, it wont happen for a while, but when it does finally happen, it does so regularly. I'm not sure what packeage is the cause. I thought it may be the graphics driver or something else, but the bug specifically affects my xterm usage. A similar "freeze" bug happens with flash, where alt-tab causes videos to unfreeze, but I'm not sure that's related. Also, I was using testing/wheezy exclusively when this bug started (fresh install a few days ago). I included the unstable repositories to see if a bleeding-egde version of *anything* would fix these issues, but they're still happening. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.13-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.2 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.9-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libutempter0 1.1.5-4 A privileged helper for utmp/wtmp ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.9-2 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxft2 2.2.0-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.1.1-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-1 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.6+2 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".
