I don't have this installed either.

In my urxvt lines longer than the window shrinking width are redrawn and wrap into the next line. > - restore window size Wrapped lines will now unwrap to take up the increasing window width. Unlike xterm, no characters are truncated/lost in urxvt. > - cat same file, etc > - contents are now redrawn properly! > > It appears urxvt does the job by itself (minus what seems to be a bug) Jorge, your urxvt seems to work differently to my installations here. Nevertheless, I'm coming to the conclusion xterm won't behave in the same/ similar way as urxvt when it comes to redrawing its window contents. -- Regards, Mick
