Hi,
I have a strange problem in the combination of urxvt with emacs.
I use emacs just in text-mode, so no X-window is opened.
What I experience is, that if I move the cursor in any text, the cursor
sometimes just gets larger than one character (only in places where only
spaces are!), sometimes up to 8 space characters wide. So, when I
move the cursor I don't see anything happening on the screen, after moving out
of this box, everything is fine again..
The best to reproduce this:
open a new file with: $ emacs -nw tmp1
and then hit 14 times space (on some emacs installations maybe 15 or 16
times), then move the cursor (step by step) back to the beginning of the
line. When you do this, this large white block (with a vanished cursor)
appears.
If you then jump with ctrl-a and ctrl-e from the first column to the last, you
see this block appearing and disappearing.
In the attachment you see a picture of this "cursor-block".
This doesn't happen in emacs-x11/emacs-gtk. This doesn't happen with emacs in
xterm, lxterminal, konsole, etc. And it also doesn't happen if you run emacs
in a tmux session or in a screen session (inside urxvt).
I tried to disable all I could think of in urxvt. So, started it with no
extensions and *no* parameters set .Xdefaults. No change in behaviour. I also
tried with "urxvt -fn fixed -fb fixed -fi fixed" to exclude complex font
issues. It also happens if urxvt is running in a vncserver.
It happens with the following emacs and urxvt-versions (I didn't try others):
GNU Emacs 23.4.1
GNU Emacs 24.5.1
urxvt v9.15 on debian 7
urxvt v9.21 on SuSE tumbleweed
Do you have any idea how I can get rid of this very disturbing behaviour?
Thanks a lot for the help,
Michael
