I saw the commit yesterday via google, and applied it to my current changes for xterm (will probably flush out #193 today or tomorrow). It's odd - that, and the corner case I cited in my recent changes both date back to when I integrated Robert Brady's patch in August 2001. Sometimes it takes a while to notice... -- Thomas E.

I've used XSetClipRectangles in this sort of case ("apropos clip" should

These changes correspond to xterm patches #185 through #199. Improved behavior + change resource settings for color4 and color12, add some discussion in XTerm-col.ad + modify the criteria for disowning primary selection. Previously, this happened anytime the cursor was moved before the end of the selection. That would ensure that any insert/delete of char or line, as well as scrolling, would disown the selection. The new criteria change this to checking if the operations would modify the data which is highlighted. + change default translations so a BtnDown which is not recognized is simply ignored rather than emitting a bell. That makes it less obtrusive when the user tries to use a mouse which provides more capabilities than the X mouse driver supports, e.g., one with a horizontal scroll wheel. + modify to allow turning UTF-8 mode via escape sequence even if -wc option was not given at startup. + add menu items and corresponding actions for switching on/off the UTF-8 mode and Xft (TrueType) support. + modify FreeType support to allow resizing the font, in the same ways the window can be resized if fixed fonts are used. The relative font sizes are derived from the fixed font sizes. + implement blinking text, using the timer for blinking cursor. + add translation to ASCII of commonly-used characters that groff translates to Unicode, when the font in use does not provide the corresponding glyphs. + modify constraints in form used to layout toolbar, to work with newer Xaw in XFree86 4.x. + make active-icon work properly when TrueType fonts are used, as well as when UTF-8 mode is used. + improve rendering for Xft, allow it to draw non-linedrawing characters such as "pi", which were drawn from internal tables with patch #180. + modify initialization of 256- and 88-colors so that colors beyond 16 are normally not X resources. This works around a hard-coded limit in Xt which breaks xterm when 256-colors and luit are both configured (report by Noah Friedman). + fix problem responding to session management events, e.g., which would make logging out very slow. Modified behavior + enable utmpx support for NetBSD 1.6C and newer. + modify Help() to make "xterm -h" write to standard output rather than standard error. + improve error-reporting for root user by checking if $DISPLAY is set rather than using the useless message from X11 library. + improve $WINDOWID for configuration with toolbar by making it refer to the top-level shell rather than the parent of the current window. For that case, the parent is a form widget, which does not have a name, which made the $WINDOWID not very useful as a parameter for xwininfo. + improve pattern used in uxterm to check for UTF-8 locale, e.g., for HPUX. + modify uxterm script to use locale program to verify if the derived locale is installed. + add case to uxterm to accommodate locales ending with "@euro", e.g., [EMAIL PROTECTED] + for Linux, if IUTF8 is defined, e.g., on recent 2.6.x kernels, set the corresponding flag for the slave pty, to enable UTF-8 interpretation of backspace in cooked mode. + modify faceSize resource to use a floating-point internal value. + modify XTerm.ad to set saveLines default to 1024. + change xterm version string to use __vendorversion__ where that is available, and "XTerm" otherwise. Rather than reporting the version of X that was current when xterm was modified, it reports the version against which it was built. New resource settings + add scoFunctionKeys resource, to match manpage. + add -fd option and resource faceNameDoublesize to specify double-wide fonts with Xft. + add resource showMissingGlyphs to outline places on the screen where a font lacks the corresponding glyph. + add resource showBlinkAsBold to control whether blinking text should be shown as bold or actual blinking text. + add utmpDisplayId resource to allow users to control whether the display identifier (display number and screen number) are retained in the connection information recorded in utmp. + add bellOnReset resource to allow users to disable bell which sounds on hard reset since patch #183 changes to

Using charClass for this was also not satisfactory since it would also select strings such as you indicate, and did not take into account the number of clicks.

ANN: xterm patch #244
Patch #244 - 2009/8/9 * refactored storage of saved-lines, providing a configure option to manage them as a FIFO (actually a circular buffer), improving performance. Added configure option --enable-fifo-lines to enable/disable the new feature (it is enabled by default). * added fastScroll resource, to amuse people who measure terminal emulator performance by cat'ing large files to the screen. * modify check in readPtyData from return values to provide exit on zero-bytes read from pty for FreeBSD, or eliminate high-CPU in "xterm-hold" processing (discussion with Ulrich Spoerlein, FreeBSD ports/136686). The check was originally modified to combine negative/zero values in XFree86-3.1.2E, 1996/05/06. * addconfigureoption--enable-16bit-charstoprovide wide-characters with 16-bits (rather than the default 32-bits). * add retryInputMethod resource to allow configuring out the retries xterm uses to connect to non-responsive XIM server, to work around defective X configurations as noted in [248]NetBSD mailing list. * make regular-expression selection work for VT100 double-sized characters. * improve layout when drawing missing characters in a proportional font, e.g., as boxes, to take into account whether they are double-width (report by Guilbert Stabilo on comp.unix.shell). * add capability for keypad-center (kb2/KA2) to termcap entry for xterm-new, as well as xterm-8bit, xterm-sun and xterm-vt220 (FreeBSD conf/136336). * change default for keepSelection resource to true (prompted by discussion with David Muir Sharnoff). * remove a limit-check in ptydata.c, allowing Unicode values past 64k to be displayed using TrueType fonts (Debian #458432). * remove a vt52-specific ifdef to allow mapping F1-F4 to PF1-PF4 when vt52 support is not compiled (report by Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert). * save/restore line-wrapping flags when converting from ISL-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8 encoding, as well as when resizing screen. * remove extra adjustment of position in fix for Debian #418324. * modify default check for mkWidth resource to check for line-drawing characters, which are categorized as double-width in Solaris 10 (report by Sebastian Kayser). * add "print-everything" action (patch by Ovidiu Gheorghioiu). * start refactoring scrollback data using new getLineData() function. * demote recent change to Debian #252873 fix to experimental, ifdef'd out as EXP_BOGUS_FG (Debian #522141). * work around groff mapping of ASCII quotes using macros (requested by Reuben Thomas based on Colin Watson advice, fixes Debian #378700). * correct symbol used for default of allowWindowOps which was DEF_ALLOW_FONT rather than DEF_ALLOW_WINDOW (report by Matthieu Herrb). * amend fix for tek4014 from [249]patch #243 to make it only apply to the Tek Options menu. -- Thomas E.

That was both a visible defect (Debian #541109) as well as a potential addressing error (Debian #541132, #541160, and #541236). * add clarification in xterm manual about the various allowXXXOps resources, which are disabled when the allowSendEvents resource is active (patch by Julien Cristau, Debian #531597). -- Thomas E.

The workaround which xterm uses to accommodate proportional fonts is not necessary with certain fonts such as unifont which happen to store a mixture of multicolumn glyphs (report by Chris Jones). * fix an (old) bug which did not restart the timer for blinking text if the only blinking text was temporarily scrolled out of view, e.g., using the scrollbar. * fix an (old) flaw in the delete-line operation where the text which is scrolled into view while the display is scrolled up was not repainted. * improve delete-line and insert-line operations, retaining selection when the selection does not intersect the deleted/inserted lines. * fix an (old) off-by-one error when an application cleared above the cursor position while the display was scrolled up, that would leave an extra line of text uncleared. * fix a similar problem where the double-size attribute would not be reset when clearing the screen while the display was scrolled up. * fix an indexing error which would occur if an application cleared a line while the display was scrolled up and was also in UTF-8 mode (Redhat #524503).

Bug report for xterm by Christian Ebert for 9.8.0 says screensize does not work for the pty. CF_XOPEN_SOURCE fixes for redefinition of _XOPEN_SOURCE on a few platforms: Mac OS X, IRIX64. Also workarounds for header inconsistencies with OpenBSD and MirBSD. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net pgp8H53CD6BWg.pgp Description: PGP signature
ANN: xterm patch #280
Patch #280 - 2012/06/24 * addconfigurechecktoworkaroundwarning from desktop-file-install for "Encoding", noting that it emits deprecation warnings without providing its version information. * add configure option --with-icon-theme to tell xterm whether to install into an icon theme, defaulting to "hicolor" (Redhat #755206, #799614 and #804279). * change --with-icondir to look for "icons" directory rather than "pixmaps" by default. Add new option --with-pixmapdir to allow these two uses to be installed concurrently. * modify configure options --with-app-defaults and --with-icondir to accept "auto" as value to look for existing directory from well-known locations. * add missing codes for secondary DA response which tell the type of terminal as in the primary DA response. * update primary DA response for VT420 to include user windows and horizontal scrolling. * add modifyKeyboard resource to support keypad-modifier changes per request by Thomas Wolff add XK_Home / XK_End to editing-keypad checks * add back-tab key kB to termcap entries to match the terminfo. * update terminfo to match corresponding entries in ncurses, e.g., add XT and adjust sgr string for xterm-bold entry. * add configure options to predefine the most commonly customized resources for terminal-settings, use those to substitute into the manpage the corresponding compiled-in values: altSendsEscape, backarrowKey, backarrowKeyIsErase, deleteIsDEL, metaSendsEscape (Redhat #819588). * change default emulation level to VT420 (discussion with Ailin Nemui). * improve logic for DECSCL; patch 279 partly enforced limitation of this to higher-level emulations. This patch finishes that change. * improve check for base of combining characters, preventing combination when cursor movement has intervened. Mosh's webpage gives two different examples of this, with other causes ascribed to the behavior. * modify IL/DL to set cursor to first column on row for better VT102/VT220 compatibility (prompted by code review of mosh). * separate state-table entries for DECSC/DECRC from the ANSI.SYS save/restore cursor, since the latter conflicts with DECSLRM when DECLRMM is enabled since patch #279 (report/analysis by Ailin Nemui). * fixes to avoid using SIGCHLD handler of main program in printer's subprocess (report by Joe Julian). * correct restore-parameter for mouse-modes from patch #279 changes. * add null-pointer checks to input-method caching added in patch #277 to fix a problem in the exposure code, when deselecting a window (report by Kriston Rehberg). * unset DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable to lessen confusion on the part of GTK applications which use the variable without checking it (report by John Little). -- Thomas E.

ANN: xterm patch #282
Patch #282 - 2012/09/28 * improve configure check for XkbKeycodeToKeysym, fixing a regression on some older systems in the patch #280 changes. * add clarification in manpage for alwaysBoldMode and veryBoldColors resources (prompted by Derek Martin question about using the former with TrueType fonts). * add alternateScroll resource and corresponding control sequences which modify the scroll-forw and scroll-back actions: when the alternate screen is displayed, wheel mouse up/down will send cursor keys (Debian #683942). * improve rendering for the case when a Unicode character is absent in the bold font but present in the normal font by temporarily falling back to the normal font (Debian #359006, Debian #408666). * provide configure option --enable-double-buffer and ifdef's to allow comparisons with/without double-buffering. The default uses normal buffering. * add feature to optionally scroll current page before clearing, controlled by resource setting cdXtraScroll (prompted by patch by Richard Wagenblast): * integrated patches from Arch Linux forum posting (patches by Richard Wagenblast): + modify reallocation limit of line-data when resizing screen so that "lost" text will be restored if the screen is first shrunk and then grown. + modify output to use double-buffering to reduce flicker. * modify scroll-lock action to handle on/off/toggle keywords like other actions. Previously the optional parameter was interpreted as an integer. * extend DECSCUSR to provide a way to set the cursor to a vertical bar (patch by Paul Bolle). * add -8, -c, -d and -u options to 88colors2.pl and 256colors2.pl scripts. No current terminal emulator recognizes C1 controls while handling UTF-8 encodingâsee notes in patch #119 and patch #109 regarding utf8controlsâbut the -u and -8 options are useful for demonstrating this point. * improve speed when changing color palettes using OSC controls by deferring repaint while followup controls might be additional color palette changes. * modify SGR 38 and SGR 48 to accept RGB index, matching the closest entry in xterm's palette. * extend SGR 38 and SGR 48 to accept colon as parameter separator (request by Paul LeoNerd Evans). * modify fullscreen action to allow it to toggle the full-screen mode rather than only set or unset it (prompted by Eeri Kask's suggestion to support _NET_WM_TOGGLE). This implementation does not yet use _NET_WM_TOGGLE. * add support for _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT and _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ EWMH properties (suggested by Eeri Kask). * make fullscreen mode work with the tek4014 window. This change makes only the currently active window to be changed to fullscreen rather than changing both windows. * modify TekClear function to discard pending output before clearing the tek4014 display (patch by Kevin Ryde). * fix deleteIsDEL feature, broken in patch #280 changes (report by Mike Thornburg, forwarded by Jeremy Huddleston). * fix a special case of wrapping double-width characters (report/test-case by Ken Winstein). * add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic to match ncurses 20120728 patch. * fix incorrect transformation ofrow-parameterfor ClearCurBackground in patch #279 which caused incorrect painting in some scrolling scenarios (report by Chuck Silvers). * fix typo in manpage description of +maximized option (Paul Maier). * change default for configure option --with-xpm, turning it on unless requested otherwise. * add configure option --with-icon-name which can be used to override the default icon used in icon-themes. * extend activeIcon resource to provide default value which tells xterm to determine the window manager's name and automatically enable the feature for fvwm and window maker. The explicit true/false values can be used to override this behavior. * add "mini" xterm icon, which scales better than the standard xterm icon, e.g., for the gnome/kde "panel" feature. * extend iconName resource to search for icon named according to resource value and use that if found. If not found, use compiled-in pixmap. Both set the WM_ICON_NAME property which is used by various window managers, usually for window decoration. * updated autoconf patch, adding support for --datarootdir, which changes the default location of manpages. * further improved auto
ANN: xterm patch #284
Patch #284 - 2012/10/14 * amend configurability changes for icons from patch #283, moving the new functionality to the iconHint resource to avoid conflict with existing uses of the iconName resource in the Shell widget (report by Emanuel Haupt). * fix documentation errata (reports by Miroslav Lichvar): + correct manpage default for allowTcapOps (see patch #243 + modify documentation for configure --enable-backarrow-key to match the script (see patch #280). + fix typo in minstall.sh in patch #283, which made the leading-cap "Xterm" become "xterm" (patch by Miroslav). * fix two typos in configure.in from patch #283 changes; one broke the --regex configure option (report by H Merijn Brand). -- Thomas E.

* support --datarootdir option in configure script.
* updated configure macros:
CF_FUNC_GRANTPT
add another step to the test-program.
CF_FUNC_POLL
fix the case where stdin is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg
builds (reported in Debian #676461). Also correct
return-check, which could have been confused by typing on
the keyboard while the check was running.
CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES
use AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED() rather than appending to
confdefs.h, since long-ago concern about the ability to
pass-through parameterized macros appears to be not a
problem, testing with 2.13 and 2.52
CF_GCC_VERSION
add workaround for Debian's modification of the version
message
CF_GCC_WARNINGS
add check for clang
CF_PATHSEP
add message to show the actual value used.
CF_PATH_SYNTAX
also match (for substitution) variables such as
${includedir}
CF_WITH_PATH
fix after changes in ncurses to use --datarootdir
CF__GRANTPT_BODY
add an ifdef'd chunk #5 for testing the 'tty' (rather than
'pty') and moved the important 'pty' chunk before opening
the slave device as a simple way of making the test
program lose any possible race between parent/child
processes in initializing both sides of the pseudoterminal

Ordinary motion within the window restores the pointer (prompted by patch by Balazs Kezes). * remove special case of modifiers for the Mode_switch and XK_ISO_Level3_Shift from patch #223. Verified that the conflict which this was intended to resolve does not happen for normal compose- or modeswitch-handling (prompted by patch by Balazs Kezes, Debian #638694). * modify the handling of focus-change events to ignore those whose detail is NotifyPointer, since those are sent in addition to focus-change events directed to the old/new windows having focus (prompted by patch by Balazs Kezes to prevent the urgency-hint from being reset in this scenario). * modify description of iconName in manpage to make it clearer that this resource does not specify the filename of an icon (discussion with Ian Collier). * modify iconHint resource to allow suppressing the built-in icon by setting this to "none" (discussion with Ian Collier). * make -iconic option work with the toolbar configuration. * correct initialization of window manager hints used to set the icon-pixmap. That detail from patch #282 overwrote state used to control the -iconic command-line option (report by Ian Collier). * fix paste64 feature for the case where the selection comes from the current terminal.

Because of the way in which the toolbar is setup, this attempt usually failed, and would result in a warning. + if the menu action fails, e.g., no font can be loaded for the given selected name, then recover by resuming with the current font. Before, the recovery went to the default font. That was done to work around missing bitmap font in patch #276. * document OSC 119 in the control sequences listing (report by Egmont Koblinger). * modify special handling of XF86Paste or SunPaste keysyms (see patch #227) to use the standard shift/lock modifiers in case those are, for example, used in level 3 in an XKB file (patch by Matthieu Herrb). * configure macro updates: + drop the -no-gcc option from CF_INTEL_COMPILER + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE to suppress the check for defining _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris * reduce bss storage used for ReGIS/Sixel modules, as well as cleanup storage usage in other modules. * initial changes for ReGIS support (patch by Ross Combs): + document control-sequences + separate ifdef's for sixel and color-register features + add configuration for VT382 -- Thomas E.

By the way, none of the released validators yet handletags (or , etc). * fix memory leaks in bitmap font-name caching. * other changes to hard-reset behavior: + reset keyboard-type on hard-reset. + reset pointer-mode (pointerMode) on hard-reset + reset title-modes (titleModes) on hard-reset + reset cursor-shape on hard or soft-reset + reset LEDs on hard-reset. + reset DECSACE on hard-reset. * reset bracketed-paste mode on hard-reset (suggested by Egmont Koblinger). * modify UTF-8 decoder to account for allowC1Printable resource. * revise getXftColor to ensure that its sequence number will not overflow in long-running sessions. * minor fix to selection to prevent hidden character from being returned in selection data (report by Egmont Koblinger). * add -sh to help-message. * amend check for incomplete fonts to always decide that a character is missing if the font lacks per-character metrics (prompted by Freedesktop #15979). * minor reorganization to implement "filler" SGR features. There are no established applications which rely upon these; some people find them amusing. + separatebits used to manage drawing state from attribute-bits. + implement SGR codes 2, 3, 9, 21 and their corresponding resets. + add configure option --disable-wide-attrs to disable the feature. * additional changes for ReGIS support (patch by Ross Combs): + fix some arc drawing bugs and add support for pattern shading. -- Thomas E.
