-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Package: kildclient Version: 3.0.0-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, On my machine, after a recent dist-upgrade (from a 2.x version), KildClient no longer automatically scrolls the display buffer when new text arrives, even when the buffer is scrolled as far down as I can get it to go. The documentation (/usr/share/doc/kildclient/html/x458.html) seems to imply that when the buffer is scrolled all the way to the bottom, new text arriving should cause it to scroll to remain at the bottom. I have tested enabling the "Scroll on output" option (under World -> Edit... -> Miscellaneous), which is documented to cause scrolling when new text arrives even when the buffer is not currently scrolled all the way to the bottom. This has produced no visible change in behavior. I have tested removing ~/.kildclient/ and starting with a clean profile. The same behavior still occurs in that situation. I have also tested on a second machine (my laptop), on which kildclient had never previously been installed, and seen the same behavior. All of this testing has been done with a connection to a single private MUSH, for which I am probably not authorized to hand out connection information. I have not tried connecting to any other MU* for comparison, in part because I do not know and would prefer not to have to bother to learn the protocols and etiquette of any others. However, since scrollback worked just fine on this MUSH with KildClient 2.x and since other people (at least one of whom also uses KildClient) are able to use it with no problems, I doubt that the problem is MUSH-specific. I have tagged this as important, since autoscroll is an effectively essential feature for a MU*, and trying to use one without it is painful to say the least. If the behavior turns out to be specific to me for whatever reason (i.e., other people see autoscroll in 3.0.0 just fine), then it would probably be appropriate to downgrade it to normal. I have also tagged this as upstream, since I don't see any plausible way this could possibly be caused by packaging or by the interaction between packages. There is always the possibility that I'm wrong in that assessment, however. (In the absence of autoscroll, I would prefer to downgrade to 2.x until some resolution can be found. However, 2.x depends on libperl5.14, which depends on a matching version of perl-base, which cannot now be installed without (removing testing from my sources.list and) downgrading a large swath of my system. As such, until such time as a fix for this can be found, my only possible solution for avoiding the problem would seem to be building KildClient 2.x from source myself. Any suggestions for alternate workarounds would be appreciated.) - -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kildclient depends on: ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.0-2 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-5 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.4-2 ii libgtkspell3-3-0 3.0.6-1 ii libjson-perl 2.61-1 ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-8+b1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-2 ii libperl5.20 5.20.1-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 kildclient recommends no packages.
