Even after killing urxvtd, a new instance of urxvt in a new window is bug-free. However, I tried launching another openbox session on a different VT (while keeping the current session), and the bug reappears! In the original session, a new urxvt remains bug-free. Curious. (I don't use urxvt, I stopped using it some time ago for reasons I can't remember...) Regards, Jorge
