I have two bugs which related to mrxvt which are *really*
starting to annoy me. I will describe the two bugs, then
the testing I have performed and the actual operating system
environment.
The first is that if I open a vim editor window (which I use
for just about everything) the cursor starts out on line #4
of the file and in a state as if I had typed the letter 'c'.
For those unfamilar with VIM, this means the if I hit just
about any key other than escape or ':', I will inadvertently
change the file. This gets VERY old VERY fast as I use VIM
for any editing task. It should be noted that it does not
matter if the VIM editor is being run locally or on a remote
system I have ssh'd into.
The second bug is related to opening a new mrxvt window
through the window manager (fvwm). On the first entry line
in the window (until I hit the 'Enter' key), any function
which should update the line rather than insert a literal
character works, but does not update the line. For example,
in my home directory I have a subdirectory called
'privateer'. I normal would enter this directory using tab
completion with the following sequence of keys:
priv[tab][enter]
Normally this would lead to the following text display
(where the current working directory is in square brackets):
[~]% privateer/
[~/privateer]%
The actual directory change still works, however the text I
actually see is:
[~]% priv^I
[~/privateer]%
(Where '^I' is the actual tab character blank space).
This bug happens only if I start mrxvt through the window
manager. If I start it from another mrxvt window (or any
other type of terminal window), this does not happen.
====== Testing performed so far ======
I have eliminated all configuration files by creating a new
user and testing for both bugs. Both bugs do still exist.
I am further certain that configuration files are not
relevant for the VIM-related bug because it happens even if
VIM is not being run on a local machine.
I am certain both bugs are related specifically to mrxvt
because neither one occurs if I use xterm, aterm, or eterm.
===== Operational Environment =====
Here is my operational environment:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
OS: Debian Testing (lenny) AMD64 Architecture (64-bit)
Window Manager: fvwm 2.5.23-2
mrxvt version: 0.5.3-1
These bugs have been driving me nuts for a long time now
(weeks? perhaps months?). Any help solving them?
