Bug#601103: request to package xterm patch #265 / broken shift-mouse selection
Hi, Oswald Buddenhagen o...@kde.org (23/10/2010): mouse selection with shift key pressed (as necessary when selecting from an application which has own mouse handling, e.g., ncurses slang based apps like mc) doesn't work any more. upstream patch #265 supposedly fixes it. can you please wait a few days? #265 went out *yesterday*. Anyway, it's buggy and I'm waiting for #266[1]. 1. http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2010/10/msg00674.html Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

(my patch from last night might be all that's needed, but it won't hurt to look for other holes over the next day - Friday night patches usually seem to have something amiss). -- Thomas E.
