It feels like you have been doing some serious diagnostic work here, so it looks like we have come a bit closer to understanding the problem, but we are not quite there yet. Right now, four (!!) programs are involved in the way you are reproducing the problem on your machine: 1. spectrwm (from ports) 2. xterm(1) 3. ksh(1) 4. tmux(1) To isolate the problem, it would be good to find a way to reproduce the problem with fewer programs involved. Ideally, we should try to get spectrwm out of the picture - when only base system software is involved and there is still a bug, it becomes much easier to find interested developers. You say it "seems like something with xterm -e tmux". Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the whole story because when i run "xterm -e tmux" with default settings under the default window manager fvwm(1), typing accent aigu, accent grave, cedille and the like works for me in the resulting xterm-tmux-ksh window. Are you able to find out which command *exactly* spectrwm is running on your machine when the problem occurs? Is it really exactly "xterm -e tmux" with no additional arguments? When you run the exact same command that sperctwm runs, but manually from an interactive shell rather than from spectrwm, what happens then? Yours, Ingo
