I'm glad you appear to understand this was not directed at you personally. Certainly no offense was taken here. I'm thankful for people like you who are looking out for understandability. I'm a retired System Administrator. Part of my job was being a professional paranoid about user credentials. At most of the companies where I worked, loss or sharing of the company phone book was a firing offense. I imagine that is the source of our difference of opinion. With my documentation writer hat on, I can say that I wrote my page that way out of convenience (rather hastily I might add :) and in the absence of official style guidelines it was easiest to copy directly from the screen. Perhaps we can adopt some of the guidelines suggested downthread by Karsten that will make things more clear. In the meantime I'll work on generalizing the centpkg page. --Brian Excellent! Thank you. One page at a time is as fast as we can work. That's interesting. It appears this exchange is having trouble reaching the centos-docs archive even though http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2014-December/005463.html has been archived. I wonder what could have happened. ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

I've noticed similar things in the browser (Firefox) and Libreoffice stuff when I enter stuff and scroll is done. I can recover visibility by dragging the mouse over it or scrolling the window. I'm thinking might be something X related? This problem has been around for some time, certainly pre 6.6 It impacts firefox, thunderbird and gedit most noticeably on my system - also these are the three windows I use most regularly. Not wanting to loose the features of compiz I have not yet tried disabling this, but have just now we'll see if this improves the situation. snip Bill ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If running in a terminal emulation window, try a different terminal emulator, i.e. xterm instead of gnome-terminal. Is it running on the same machine as your desktop or on a remote server? In the last several years I see a lot of display issues with remote x applications. Natarau ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
