Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1.3.9-6.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/tightvncserver
i use tightvncserver -depth 16 -geometry 1024x768 on my office debian system
and then i connect from home using a vnc client from an old ibook
yesterday, using djview4, that permits to save a selection done with
the middle mouse button either to the clipboard or to a graphic file,
i noticed that when the area i select is "large" part of the selection
is black filled, as i tried to express in the ascii art below
--------------- ---------------
- o - -XXX o -
- ooo o o- -XXX ooo o o-
- o o o - --> -XXXo o o -
- o o - -XXX o -
- o - -XXX -
-o - -XXXXXXXXXXXXX-
--------------- ---------------
this behaviour is noticed in both cases, save to clipboard and save to
file, and for all the graphic formats i tested
today i was going to report a bug against djview4, when i tried again
the procedure on the local display and everything was fine
is this a bug of tightvncserver? should this be a documented
restriction of the software, please be indulgent...
ciao, thank you for all
gb
