What were you trying to do?
Enable and then disable the xterm scrollbar.
What's wrong:
When I enable the scrollbar, xterm should change the bit
gravity to east gravity (or whatever) so that when the window
is resized, the text moves to the right size of the window.
It doesn't, so the text doesn't move over, and the left side
of it is obliterated by the scrollbar.
I just took a look at the source code, and there are points
where the bit gravity IS set, so I don't know whether they're
not getting called at the right time, or perhaps not working.
But wait, there's more.... When I disable the scrollbar, the
window doesn't shrink back tdo its original width -- it stays
at the width it was at when the scrollbar was enabled.
I can keep playing around with disabling and enabling the
scrollbar, and get quite strange things to happen.
What should have happened:
When the scrollbar is enabled, the window should be resized
with bit gravity set to east. When the scrollbar is disabled,
the window should be resized back to its original size.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/mit/x11/src/mit/clients/xterm/scrollbar.c, in the
ResizeScreen function.
