Hello there,

I've been searching the mailing-list archives for posts concerning the vertical cursor 
"trails" bug that rxvt exhibits under Windows XP with ClearType, but have found 
nothing. 

Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Under Windows XP, activate ClearType (Display Properties|Appearance|Effects|Use the 
following method... ClearType)
- Start rxvt with the following command line:
  rxvt.exe -tn xterm -sr -fn "Lucida Console-14" -sl 30000 -e bash --login -i
- Type some chars and notice the vertical bars the cursor leaves (erase or redraw are 
off by one pixel)

This only happens with monospaced fonts other than Courier New or System (Lucida 
Console, Andale Mono, and practically all other monospaced fonts I tried).

I am willing to help debug/test this, and have spent a couple of hours trying to 
recompile rxvt on my box (setting up CVS, etc., and following the steps detailed on 
/usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README), but would like to get in touch with other folk 
that have been working on rxvt to swap tips.

Since I am not subscribed to the list, please e-mail me directy.

Thanks,

Rui Carmo
