Xterm I think will be doing its own handling of selections as it is implementing a terminal emulator which is a very specific kind of text display - so ... xterm code itself. Having implemented a terminal emulator (terminology) and whole UI toolkit too myself... I know how this is done and selections will select an entire text char if the pointer enters that char at all - so pointer is anywhere over the char and then it's selected. That's what I implemented as it's logical and consistent. I have never looked at what xterm has done. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com
