Hi, further on this. I now have the same behaviour on a local xterm (on an XP SP1 machine running xorg Xwin 6.6.0.0-8, rest is latest cygwin). The funny thing is that it happens in one xterm only, and I cannot reproduce it in others... In fact, I don't think I resized that xterm yet (started it with xterm -ls -sl 3000 -sb by the way).
