Package: xterm Version: 208-3.1 Followup-For: Bug #347384
IMHO the changed charClass resource is a bad idea. It is trivial to doubleclick on the "http" and drag over the URL. The new setting makes it basically impossible to select e.g. the directory part of a fully qualified filename. Being able to select URLs with a doubleclick requires an awful lot of "separator-like" characters in them: '/', ':', '=', '&' etc. pp. Just for example: Having '&' no longer separating makes selecting of table cells in a LaTeX-Document very troublesome. Having '/' no longer separating makes selecting parts of a filename very inconvenient. "," is inconvenient for CSV-formatted files (Comma separated values), and so on and so on. *Please* please please revert this change and restore the original behaviour by unsetting the charClass resource. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxaw8 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs-data 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client data ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System utility programs -- debconf information: * xterm/clobber_xresource_file: true xterm/xterm_needs_devpts: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
