Subject: X bug on IBM RT color workstation
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 89 15:50:15 EDT
I'm not sure where to send this, so please forward this bug-report as
appropriate.
Bug: xterm at bottom left corner of screen does not display characters
when scrolling.
To reproduce: I use a .Xdefaults file, shown below. Log into an IBM
RT color workstation using system standard login sequence. Type:
xterm -geometry =80x24+0-0 &
Go into the new xterm and type "ls -la /" (or any other command to
fill the terminal window). When the xterm starts scrolling,
lines will be lost. Note that if XTerm*jumpScroll is TRUE then many
lines of program output will make it through, but all user input is
invisible. If XTerm*jumpScroll is FALSE then all lines of input and
output are lost. Typing "clear" will let you see 24 lines of
input/output again, until it starts to scroll. Moving the xterm up
one pixel allows all subsequent input/output to be seen.
This bug has probably been reported, but I just wanted to make sure.
I have not tested this on any other kind of Athena workstation.
My .Xdefaults file:
XTerm*foreground: white
XTerm*background: #000060
XTerm*cursorColor: white
XTerm*pointerColor: blue
XTerm*Font: 6x13
XTerm*scrollBar: true
XTerm*saveLines: 240
XTerm*borderColor: #8080b0
XTerm*internalBorder: 1
XTerm*jumpScroll: true
XTerm*reverseWrap: true
XTerm*thickness: 12
Thanks much,
