Hi! ----
Are there any known problems with "multiline" input (e.g. % set -o multiline #) in ksh93r ? It seems that in some cases the multiline editing in emacs mode has some problems when a line is longer than the terminal window is wide and removing chars via the "Backspace" key makes it again shorter than the window width (=the whole string which is being edited fits in one single line again). Steps to reproduce (for ksh93r in Solaris 10/SPARC): 1. Resize a terminal window (CDE 1.3 dtterm) to COLUMNS=40 LINES=24 (the specific sizes does not matter, it's just to make the screenshot below smaller :-) ) 2.Start ksh93 with no other environment variables set except than EDITOR=gmacs and TERM=dtterm % env - EDITOR=gmacs TERM=dtterm ./arch/sol10.sun4/bin/ksh -o multiline 3. Enter the string 'echo "large string which does not fit in this small window"' 4. Now delete the string char-by-char until the cursor passes the first character in the current line. Result is the following garbage in the terminal window: -- snip -- $ env - EDITOR=gmacs TERM=dtterm ./ar> $ echo "large string which does not fit E[A E[Aecho "large string which does not fit it -- snip -- A screenshot is attached as "ksh93r_multiline_input_problems.gif". ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
