I have a different suggestion. I traced out the relevant variables and found that CurFontWidth fails because screen->visbuf pointer is trashed. I figured out how it got that way: in the handling of a (premature?) resize event, when screen->allbuf == NULL. The patch is enclosed.
However, I am not sure this patch is the way to go. May be, the very fact that ScreenResize is executed at this stage indicates another bug? ** Attachment added: "screen resize code patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14521400/screen.diff -- xterm crashes when compiz is on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
