losing text: If I make the window narrower (via xmonad meta-h), the text on the right hand side is hidden When I make it wider (meta-l), the hidden text doesn't return, I just see whitespace. ^L clears the screen, and if I shift-pgup to scroll backwards, the entire line history has been truncated at the minimum width I narrowed to. timd@tcc15:~/src/xmonad$ xterm -version XTerm(222) Don't know if that's modern or not. The distribution is reasonably up to date, however. -----Original Message----- From: Donald Bruce Stewart [mailto:dons@cse.unsw.edu.au] Sent: Thursday, 24 May 2007 11:45 AM To: Tim Docker Cc: xmonad@haskell.org Subject: Re: [Xmonad] resizeing xterms timd:
This is not an xmonad question per-se, but...
In using xmonad my xterms get shrunken and expanded much more often than with a regular window manager. When this happens how do I prevent
them from losing the text that was hidden by the shrinking? Is there some
losing text? does refresh help (^L)
sort of config option - or should I be using an alternative terminal?
I use xterm, and it seems to work fairly well, 'cept that it sometimes doesn't know its been resized. You're using a modern xterm? -- Don
