Package: xterm Version: 244-1 Severity: important Starting with today's upgrade, running xterm under ratpoison and changing the font makes the window unuseable. I suspect that xterm and ratpoison disagree on the new window size (xterm tries to resize so that the number of rows and columns is met, and ratpoison then switches the window back to the largest dimensions that match the size hints that still fit on the screen).
This cannot be triggered always, but pretty reliably when using a newly opened shell window. Symptom is that the prompt that used to be at the top of the window is now in the middle, no cursor appears behind it, input is processed normally but no output appears. When switching back to the "Default" font, the contents appear and the terminal is usable again.
