Package: xterm
Version: 269-1
Severity: important
xterm display will freeze intermitently, allowing commands to be run but not
showing keystrokes or results. Oddly, if this "freeze" bug occurs when I'm
typing, the freeze will eat the word I'm typing and display everything up to
the previous space in the command. Alt-Tab and window resize both cause the
screen to refresh and display everything, but not for long. It *seems* that
after rebooting, it wont happen for a while, but when it does finally happen,
it does so regularly.
I'm not sure what packeage is the cause. I thought it may be the graphics
driver or something else, but the bug specifically affects my xterm usage. A
similar "freeze" bug happens with flash, where alt-tab causes videos to
unfreeze, but I'm not sure that's related.
Also, I was using testing/wheezy exclusively when this bug started (fresh
install a few days ago). I included the unstable repositories to see if a
bleeding-egde version of *anything* would fix these issues, but they're still
happening.
