 Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 8:36 pm Post subject: [KNOWN BUG] xterm scrollbar "flashes" after update |
 |
|
Before updating world sometime in the past 2 weeks, the scrollbar in my xterms would start all grey. As the saveLines buffer would build, the grey area would shrink one line at a time. When the buffer was totally full, I would have just a small grey bar at the bottom that I could grab with my mouse and move up to see the buffer contents.
After updating to Xterm 207, the grey bar disappears after 2 or 4 lines of history. Then it resets to being solid grey for a line or two, then disappears, again. When scrolling through files that fill more than the visible area, I get a flashing effect in the scrollbar. Note that it does still work (I can scroll), but I find the flashing very distracting. I can repro this on 2 boxes with Xterm 207. A box still running Xterm 204 does not have the problem. I have made no changes to ~/.Xdefaults, the the app-defaults changes introduced in 207 seem trivial. See below.
UPDATE: Downgrading to x11-terms/xterm-204 resolves the issue,. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115037
