I'm getting intermittent, anomalous results when resizing my xterm window while executing "info". Because I've been unable to reproduce in rxvt, I post this in the xfree mailing list. I have not yet concluded, however, that the problem is Xwindows-specific. I also was not able to reproduce with xterm on a true Linux system.
The anomalous results have been either a stackdump or corrupted terminal I/O. In the latter case, keyboard input is not echoed and output newlines are simply a linefeed without a paired carriage return. I've encountered the defect while resizing my terminal window to accommodate long lines that "info" wraps to fit the terminal window. Steps to reproduce: 1) open a new xterm window with a width of 80 characters 2) enter command: info cat 3) make screen wider to accommodate first line If you don't get a stackdump, quit (q) the program and see if terminal output functions normally. Attached is cygcheck output and my stackdump. I'm not using the latest (6.8.99.901) Xwindows code due to problems reported in this mailing list by me and others. I would like to hear from users of the latest version if they can reproduce this problem. --Ken Nellis
