A naive replay won't work: you need (triple-)clicks while the output occurs to be able to reproduce the bug (such clicks more or less freeze xterm's output). > > I recall the basic step to reproduce the bug: > > 1.

IMHO, that's the clicks that confuse xterm. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
