Package: rxvt
Version: 1:2.7.10-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When using rxvt, until recently -geometry settings were inherited by called
programs. E.g., when calling
rxvt -geometry 80x50 -e man man
the man-page was displayed over 80 lines. Currently, only about 25 lines are
displayed with the man page help line (i.e., the line showing ... press h for
help, etc) on the last line, in the middle of the window.
When paging through the man-page the page layout is completely lost, and
subsequent pages are shown below the initial 25 lines. Larger number of lines
show similar output.
The problem is observed with other programs as well: less, mutt, etc., all
these programs do not appear to inherit rxvt's geometry anymore.
When using xterm the problem does not manifest itself, so I guess the problem
lies with rxvt. E.g., after
xterm -geometry 80x50 -e man man
the man-page is nicely displayed over 50 lines, and when paging through the
man-page subsequent blocks of 50 lines are shown.
Frank B. Brokken.
