I don't use that except for testing - and still don't see a problem running that. Ok, I've drilled down through my settings in .Xresources, and I've managed to isolate it to the following resource. XTerm*faceName: "monospace" Simply setting it triggers the bug. Remove it, and the bug goes away.

It might be helpful to see what "appres XTerm" (or the xrdb output), so I can check that. Here's the output of the "appres XTerm" and "xrdb -query" on my machine. Let me know if I can help you in any way to track this down. Thanks for your work on XTerm! :-) -=[david]=- appres-XTerm.output Description: Binary data xrdb-query.output Description: Binary data

Layout inside the xterm window is correct, it's just that characters are... missing. Maybe - if it were that simple, I think I'd be seeing more reports. Here's an example of what I see with mutt running inside xterm: http://members.cox.net/msw/05.png thanks. I understand the report, but the specific item that you pointed to in the changelog refers to repainting the whole screen when an application assigns new colors. The case that I've been investigating might be related (or I might simply not see it due to different resource settings). It might be helpful to see what "appres XTerm" (or the xrdb output), so I can check that. I am seeing the same problems using "make menuconfig" on a kernel source, or in midnight commander.
