That would be the "same" as the case I was talking about. xterm apparently allows one to multi-click and extend selection at the same "time", since it is handling events. (I don't know if it would be hard to change that). But it does not correspond to the symptom that you were describing, i.e., selecting from the current point to the bottom of the screen. Extending the selection should make the selection (triple-clicking, etc), apply to no lines past the cursor click. Given that, I've been looking for some case where there's an error in the indices used to point into the screen, e.g., a -1 that's sign-extended, causing it to use a much larger size than expected. -- Thomas E.
