Actually it's a bug in X (or whatever component is responsible for this). I can see that in xterm's debug-trace. Besides the duplicate event, the serial number isn't being updated properly. It's also reproducible with st. None of the other terminal emulators in Debian gave usable results, which is typical - no need to add to the FAQ :-) Filtering consecutive duplicate events seems like a suitable workaround. I'll do that. -- Thomas E. Dickey <dic...@invisible-island.net> https://invisible-island.net ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net
