It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words... (in this case, however, the pictures were compressed to a bit less than 1MB :-) ). Anyway, I can see the problem now (but not yet the solution). See below. > I've seen this on some machines, and usually it's an X server > issue. Does this happen in other graphical cygwin programs? I suspected that. This is the reason I asked Craig to install another free Windows-based X server, but to no avail. They do share the same codebase, though. > gschem doesn't > do anything unusual when the mouse cursor moves. > > -Ales > > > It appears Craig selected a component on the component window first, then moved the mouse around the page. Normally, the symbol of that component would follow the mouse. In his case, it is leaving a trail of partially drawn copies. Craig: Did you use the Cygwin-related build instructions on the gEDA wiki pages ( http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:cygwin ) to build your copy of gschem, or did you download it from another source? Just checking. Could you please run the following command, and send me off-list the generated cygcheck.out file? $ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out This will allow me to inspect details of your Cygwin installation and of your Windows environment. As an alternative to sending me files off-list, I am beginning to think it would be appropriate for you (if you wish to do so) to fill the bug submission form on the gEDA bug submission page, and attach the files there: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=161080&atid=818426 Cesar _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
