Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-8
Severity: normal
I am running an UXterm, where I run ssh from bash, and on the other
machine I run tethereal (from bash too).
It was running like that yesterday and it was OK, I went to sleep, and
today when I woke up, I foundout that that window does not accept any
keyboard input.
More precisely: it does not pass any keyboard input to the running
application. I cannot press <Ctrl>+<C>, any characters I press are not
displayed on the screen.
But I can scroll the window with <Shift>+<PgUp> <Shift>+<PgDn>.
In my /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm I have:
*VT100*saveLines: 1024
*VT100*scrollTtyOutput: false
*VT100*scrollKey: false
*VT100.Translations: #override \n\
Shift<Key>Delete: clear-saved-lines() \n\
Shift<Key>Up: scroll-back(4,line) \n\
Shift<Key>Down: scroll-forw(4,line) \n
When I press <Shift>+<Del> it also works correctly, and <Shift>+<Up>
<Shift>+<Dn> too.
This is not the first time this happened to me, but it does not happen
often (probably about the 5-th time during the last ~3 months - very
rough estimate).
I'm still running that UXterm with blocked keyboard input and
tethereal, so if you have any things you might want me to test, please
ask. Within a reasonable time of course, like 1 day, but I will try to
keep that window running as long as I can just in case someone wants
me to test something.
But in 3-4 days I'm going to travel and this is a notebook, so I'll
need to power down it.
