Some more testing: cat can do this with some files but not with all - I have to find a common denominator. -- Eitan Adler ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I don't have this variable defined neither in xterm or text mode console. When you state "at some times" for this strange shifting to happen, what programs are affected, for example, or is terminal output affected in general?

Terminal thinks start of line is first character of previous line
For some reason the output of my terminal at times seems to put the first character of a line as the last character of the previous line. This occurs with x11/Terminal x11/Eterm x11/xterm and probably others. As far as I could tell this does not not occur on console but I have not tested as thoroughly. echo $TERM $COLUMNS xterm 140 I'm unsure what other debugging data is needed. I am able to provide any other data that might be needed to solve the problem though. -- Eitan Adler ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
