Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
This would have been Severity: minor, except that today I ran into a case
where it actually lost information (for all practical purposes) which should
have been displayed. I originally noticed that threaded mode in mutt was
not handled correctly:
1. Open an mbox in mutt with some threads in it: mutt -f <mbox file>
2. Set threaded mode: 'o', 't' (drawn correctly)
3. Cause uxterm to redraw, e.g. by switching desktops, iconifying/restoring
uxterm, etc. (drawn incorrectly, some parts of the screen revert to the
uxterm background colour where they had previously been set to a different
colour)
Today, I noticed a somewhat different situation with hdparm:
1. man hdparm (I happen to have hdparm 5.5-4, and use less(1) as a pager)
2. Scroll to line 44 (in the paragraph describing the '-c' option)
3. Note that part of the sentence "A numeric paramter[sic] can be used..."
is omitted (this is clear from reading the text). It reads:
"A numeric parameter can be used to enable/disable 32‐bit I/O support:
Currently sup‐ ported values include 0 to disable 32‐bit I/O support,
[whitespace] enable 32-bit data transfers"
while the text should read:
"A numeric parameter can be used to enable/disable 32‐bit I/O support:
Currently sup‐ ported values include 0 to disable 32‐bit I/O support,
_1_ to enable 32-bit data transfers" ("_1_ to in place of [whitespace])
Setting LC_ALL=C prevents both these effects (I typically use en_US.UTF-8).
