Ah - got it. Its a problem caused by WindowBlinds. Tony.
........... Hello, OS: WinXP, Service Pack 1 Cygwin: 1.5.9-1 Cygwin-X11-base: 6.7.0.0-8 Cygwin-X11-bin: 6.7.0.0-4 readline: 4.3-5 I'm having a stange problem with xterm that only manifests itself when XWin is running in multiwindow mode. When I launch an either an xterm or rxvt, the line of the terminal the cursor is on is only half vertically displayed - only the top half of the text appears. Also, any text I enter appears garbled. As soon as I hit Enter, the new shell line that appears is trashed, but the previous line now displays properly. I've tried -swcursor & -fn with various fonts, but no difference. I've tried XWin vanilla, -rootless, and even -mwextwm with xwinwm, and all of these work fine; its only multiwindow this happens with. I've tried setting and unsetting my LANG and LC_ALL settings; nothing. Anyone else come across this? Any ideas? Thanks, Tony. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
