Package: xterm Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 Severity: normal Since the last xterm update, I've noticed that some graphics characters are occasionally displayed in a garbled fashion. The one I usually notice is ACS_CKBOARD; the symptom is that instead of being painted as a pattern of alternating white and black dots, it's painted as some sort of solid color. The corruption goes away if I redraw the characters (for instance, by selecting them with the mouse or exposing the window surface).
It may be related that some test code which prints Chinese characters has been misbehaving since around then, and that all of these misbehaviors appear to be limited to a Unicode environment -- when I reset the locale to en_US, the problem with ACS_CKBOARD goes away (obviously I can't test the Chinese characters in en_US, though :) ). I've posted an example of the corruption I'm seeing at http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/broken-scrollbar.png. I manually cleared a few characters of the scrollbar so you can see how it should look. To reproduce this, start an xterm in a UTF8 locale, then run stock aptitude from unstable; that screen is what shows up for me.
