Is it a bug? Can you fix it? I > didn't encounter the same problem in other desktop environments for xterm. what xterm processes has nothing to do with enlightenment. xterm read input events directly from the xserver (keyboard events). e is not involved at all. xterm reads the tty output from the command and sends back input (key presses). xterm renders the results. now the only thing it could be is e's compositing somehow losing a frame. to test this - simple focus some other window then focus xterm again. xterm will redraw the cursor from an open block to solid block. do you see the cursor change? if this is the problem.. are you maybe using software compositing? i have noticed that sometimes the xserver doesn't provide up to date data when e grabs pixels with xshmgetimage. it sometimes seems to provide old pixel data for some reason. another option is e didn't output a frame of stuff. easy to test. right click on the titlebar and pop up e's menu... does the menu pop up? does this fix anything suddenly? if neither of these 2 change anything, then your issue is not with e. :( seeing the issue in e doesn't mean it has to do with e. it could easily be a bug elsewhere e has just stumbled into. this happens to me a lot. i do something and then i suddenly find all the bugs in something else. i'm doing that right now on some other projects with some simple test cases that cause the kernel to poop itself and require a reboot to fix. new workloads often bring out new bugs in the things thew workloads use/trigger/interact with. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
