--- Begin Message ---Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal Hi, It's been some months now that I repeatedly get a strange problem with a less in xterm: if I select the first line of the xterm window, being the first line of the less dump too, I am pasting some sort of buffered data too, coming from previous lines of output. Say I have done a "grep -r foo bar | less", and copy-paste the first line of the xterm ("bar/xyz.c: ..."), I get what I've selected plus some preprended text ("blahblahbar/xyz.c: ..."). This happens when I select one or multiple lines or one or multiple words including the upper left word in the less in xterm. It DOESN'T happen when I select character-wise (single-clicking instead of double- or triple-clicking). I can't reproduce deterministically but once I get it, it always happen with the same display. Restarting the less usually clears things up. I think I already got the problem with vim a while ago, but I'm not copy-pasting so much from vim, either to it. I believe it's a but in the copy-paste word selection of xterm wich doesn't check if the characters selected are displayed and goes out of bound, but I can believe it is caused by improper terminal handling by less. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.6-8 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client data -- no debconf information Regards, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
