AREA:
Xaw Text widget
SYNOPSIS:
The kill-line action doesn't deal well at all with lines that are
longer than the text widget can display.
DESCRIPTION:
All kinds of strange, bad things happen, including garbage
characters being displayed and redisplays not working properly,
when ^K is used on a line that is longer than can be displayed in
the text widget.
REPEAT BY:
Create a small text widget, with word-wrap on and auto-fill off.
Type a line that's longer than the text widget can display. Move
back to the beginning of the line, Move forward one word, and then
type ^K. It shouldn't do the right thing. Type ^L, and things
should get worse.
SAMPLE FIX:
Unknown.
