I don't use xvile all that much, I use vile in a terminal window most of the time, however I do sometimes find I need to use xvile.
I've just found that the > character doesn't work in xvile. This seems to be the same on both version 9.8v and 9.8y running on two different xubuntu systems. The > character works fine everwhere else, in vile, in the terminal window, in browser windows, etc. I've tried changing font selection but that didn't help. I *can* enter a > by typing x3e. Any ideas how to diagnose this? -- Chris Green
