It's for 2.8.5dev.2. I tested the patch with lynx 2.8.5dev.3 and lynx 2.8.4rel.1b. It seems the patch fixed the problem almost completely and reduced the whole page blinking very well, as far as I tested. And it seems there is no side-effect for lynx with slang library. The only one problem I found is; when I setted EXTERNAL:ftp:w3m %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:file:w3m %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:w3m %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:wget %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:wget -r %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:ftp:netscape %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:file:netscape %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:netscape %s:TRUE and press , (comma key) then small window appeared in top right corner to select external commands and I pressed enter key (i.e. select w3m) then the characters which was covered under the small window appeared again but they were not correct (i.e. Mojibake occured!). Of course, this happend in Japanese pages. It seems the problem occured on kterm but not on krxvt (but not so sure yet...). # I tested with only http://www.linet.gr.jp/~mituiwa/ Best regards, 2001.10.15 -- Debian Developer & Debian JP Developer - much more I18N of Debian Atsuhito Kohda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Department of Math., Tokushima Univ. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
