everytime i chroot into a busybox environment, i notice a weird
behaviour in xterm:
1) selecting text that spans over more than one line using a
double-click will only select the half of the text that is in the
currently selected line
for example, if the terminal width is 10 chars:
12345678 A
BCD
where ABCD is a complete word without line breaks, double-clicking on A
will only select A, whereas using coreutils+bash, ABCD will be selected.
2) the other case is selecting multiple lines, for example a long gcc
statement, using the busybox environment the copied text has embedded
newline characters on the terminal line boundaries whereas on a typical
gnu system it does not.
so if you want to copy/paste such a long command to reuse it in another
terminal, you have to paste it into an editor first, remove the line
breaks and copy it from there again. this is quite annoying.
i dont know what could cause this behaviour, so any hint to the
whereabouts and possible causes of this bug is highly appreciated.
best regards,
--JS
