Package: mlterm
Version: 3.9.3-1+b1
Severity: important
Tags: a11y
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
The mlconfig helper does not support --geometry, so it can’t be invoked by
the user using its Ctrl+MouseButton3 binding, which tries to use this
option. If mlterm is run from a different terminal, it instead prints the
message “Unknown option --geometry” when this combination is pressed,
without giving any other indication of what it’s trying to do. See the
trace below for that detail.
I think that mlterm should invoke this command without --geometry, or the
mlconfig helper should be patched to support the --geometry option. I can
confirm that this functionality was working correctly under Debian 12’s
version of mlterm and its supporting binaries.
thanks for looking at this,
Andrew
