Package: xboard
Version: 4.2.6-2.1
Severity: important
Hi,
if you connect to an internet chess server (ICS), xboard just freely
intermixes ICS server messages with user input on the terminal. There is
no stable command line like e.g. irssi provides one.
If you're typing a command, it will be disrupted by anything. Let
it be your opponent speaking, someone shouting, a tell to a channel
you're listening to, a seek, *anything*.
Logically, the words you've typed so far are still part of the
current command line, but they're visually intermixed with the message
that arrived, and scrolling up with it. It's impossible to edit the
command line in any reasonable way.
Actually, I've grinded my teeth about that for years now, but for
some reason I didn't file a bug. Finally, here it is.
Nikolaus
