Package: reportbug Version: 7.10.3+deb11u1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: cw...@z46860.e4ward.com Dear Maintainer, I am trying to report a bug in reportbug using reportbug. I got to the part where it asks me to select a text editor, so, I selected vim.tiny, but, now, the text I need to copy and paste here is hidden by the text editor display. And I can't scroll up (Mate Terminal or vim.tiny problem or just the way it is or has to be?). I'm sure it won't be hard to work around it, but, it's just such a dumb thing to have happen. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="text" ** /home/chrisw/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "7.10.3+deb11u1" mode standard ui text email "cw...@z46860.e4ward.com" no-cc list-cc-me smtphost reportbug.debian.org -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-22-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt2.2.4 ii python33.9.2-3 ii python3-reportbug 7.10.3+deb11u1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.14 reportbug recommends no packages.
