Since yesterday after a make world on both FreeBSD versions I realize a strange behaviour in several GTK clients (gq for instance, freshly installed yesterday) and Firefox and Thunderbird (they have not been recompiled now for days).

This behaviour occured earlier this year on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT, around July. I tried to install FreeBSD Current compiled with CLANG on a Core-i5 driven notebook with option --mtune=native, --mtune=i7 or even avoid using --mtune= and then it occured that the whole system was crap, since typing of TAB key immediately exited the shell or typing the arrow keys resulted in the same.

This happened NOT when system got compiled with --mtune=core2 on that Core-i5 driven Notebook (Dell Latitude E6510)!

I didn't test this behaviour on that notebook yet, but whill this night.

The notebook have had a GENERIC kernel that time when the problem occured, now I use on all boxes custom kernel and these lines seem to be specificially for the terminal emulation:

# Console options
options         MAXCONS=8               # maximum No. of consoles
options SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE # simplified mouse cursor in text mode
options         SC_DFLT_FONT            # compile font in
makeoptions     SC_DFLT_FONT=cp850
options         SC_DISABLE_KDBKEY       # disable `debug' key
options         SC_DISABLE_REBOOT       # disable reboot key sequence
options         SC_HISTORY_SIZE=512     # number of history buffer lines
#options SC_MOUSE_CHAR=0x3 # char code for text mode mouse cursor options SC_PIXEL_MODE # add support for the raster text mode
options         SC_NORM_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)
options         SC_NORM_REV_ATTR=(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN)
options         SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_RED|BG_BLACK)
options         SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR=(FG_BLACK|BG_RED)
#options        SC_CUT_SPACES2TABS      # convert leading spaces into tabs
#options SC_CUT_SEPCHARS=\"x09\" # set of characters that delimit words # (default is single space - \"x20\")
                                        #options        SC_TWOBUTTON_MOUSE

# Enable experimental features of the syscons terminal emulator (teken).
options         TEKEN_UTF8              # UTF-8 output handling
#options TEKEN_CONS25 # cons25-style terminal emulation

# Enable VESA
#options                X86BIOS
#options                VESA


Any idea?

Oliver
