Hi there... Not strictly a dwm question but it's hit me for the first time in the context of using dwm, and it's _kinda_ putting me off dwm, so I wondered if anyone else has been bugged by this and/or knows a way round it:
Suppose I have three xterms open, in an arrangement such as: +---------+-----+ | | | | | B | | | | | A +-----+ | | | | | C | | | | +---------+-----+ Suppose A contains a whole load of text - maybe I've just cat'd a big text file, or something. Now, if I swap A and B, then restore A, the result is that A has "forgotten" or lost most of its textual content - it's mostly blank. It appears that this happens when it shrinks, and the restore is not enough to cause it to redraw nicely. Is this just a "feature" of the xterm I'm using (X.Org 6.9.0(213) xterm under FreeBSD)? Is there something I can do to stop this happening? Other clients handle this much better (for example emacs, or even a shell inside an "emacs -nw" inside an xterm!). At the moment it's putting me off dwm a bit, though I don't really think it' dwm's fault... :-[) I hope my explanation makes sense (I can make screenshots if you like), and that this isn't a too stupid question. I couldn't see anything about it in the xterm faq or man page... Best regards, -Andy -- Andy Gimblett Computer Science Department University of Wales Swansea http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csandy/
