-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Maintainer, My current kernel command line is about 400-character long. When it was shorter, I didn't have any issues when I wanted to edit this line in the bootloader screen by selecting some entry and pressing "E". I recently added some other kernel parameters to the cmd line, and I noticed many visual bugs in the bootloader screen. Basically with each cursor movement (back and forth), I get an extra text line in the screen output (copy of the current line scrolled up). Also characters in the cmd line disappear or change when I move the cursor back. The visual bugs make it almost impossible to edit the kernel cmd line. Also When I press the backspace key (or the back arrow key) for a longer period of time (let's assume I want to delete some parameters entirely from the line), I hear the hardware beeper which is really annoying. I found out that the problem appears when I have more than 4 lines of text on the screen when editing the cmd line. So fifth (and next ones) will trigger the visual bugs, while 4 (and less) won't. So what to do with it? - -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (130, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.11-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages extlinux depends on: ii libc6 2.29-3 Versions of packages extlinux recommends: ii syslinux-common 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-1 extlinux suggests no packages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE5JPPWm5C7TFDUMqpzQRoEHcbZSAFAl3MNmEACgkQzQRoEHcb ZSCybg/+LbzriiSLoPsLRK9iW+GmMD4U82YnK6OoEjz7YMIWi8yJzzzgsRgoSJs5 yOpXTdbMQchScmbrloMb7jBDWkaK594+2RvL+ZOyeYt7SNAwIyZEv4AdA1DiNArn moKQk48WPKV4gNqVXnjlvs+Eab6nFh7AokzMSG7TxHiZ283s1aQYOdUjiVWdU2YH pLgd1qRsKf7tz1kJfTmTx4tx8w8dR7Qxe6vuesShEr+QHwb4PjliroXzxrTJYBAe WVikkk6aYkWrDJHmn2SOmrXdwzUOpkIOuSludoP2ctDZfjsHbigNMI40smQI/t0F qnLwZ0QscOybxE1z4l4WHnpr3opl3EyLg2XNvbdDCXBZdFP+YmVHG06sZrEwJktc UALj5pTAytB87vK7p77kMsAOniZJj2T47mdh8ggJmYiGby4JkGWr3Ya9YTWRoQxX v1ohflHg8OC88iXWaAQPzi/gtpcM17IkeR5EDWV+/FtOzSVReqjpXwI37DvJ0CUp BcB/ZBdLJ2MTAU5D7UKm/0OIjPcfE110ICXrbCn+oBvhZ+Tn1GeYrQje4nW1Rfb5 dWU2Ue4FzGPun/d/M1zVmVSUYocPpY6nLOn6Qh5+t6yK0vKzkuyhFgsrURrJwLQ8 qFEjFQfep4vpM0NF+JHriPGglyVpkaEHklCl9IqxcPVbIEL7AjQ= =QWGV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
