Some Amiga TOPAZ characters aren't displaying... [take a screenshot WITH the chars, too.] icy_term doesnt show some AMIGA chars (should be bargraph there) icy_term AMIGA TOPAZ chars in syncterm [Notice, this above pic is Syncterm - the Amiga TOPAZ chars don't show in icy_term, ever... on 2oFB, press "S", "C" from Main Menu to see.]

When shift is held, backspace doesn't work - or, can't get input from two buttons at once.

Import syncterm.lst or netrunner.phn? [MagiTerm, Muffinterm... supply example phonebook files.]

Downloads don't start automagically; have to click the icon.

Uploads/Downloads don't end correctly for me; connection hangs and keyboard presses display weird ANSi like characters... both on SSH & TELNET. Have to disconnect to 'fix' - transfers are br0ken. icy_term after UL⁄DL dont get back to bbs  bad chars on screen

No scrollback buffer???

4:3 mode? The aspect ratio seems stuck to 16:9 or similar - I'd prefer true CRT/4:3 screen size. [Can't change by dragging; but I'd PREFER a menu options - 16:9 (or whatever it currently is) or 4:3...]

SSH is only connecting intermittently [More testing is being done to dial in the 'when']


I'm running Arch Linux in a Wayland environment... $ uname -a Linux arch-frame 6.7.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 08 Mar 2024 01:59:01 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Having some hangups about both Syncterm AND Netrunner and would really get behind icy_term; understand if some of my feature requests aren't in your wheelhouse or perview, but wanted to suggest them anyway. I'll further test any of the listed bugs and am driving icy_term as my daily now - so I'll be keeping a lit of all future things that I come across, too. Again, ONLY to help - don't worry if you don't want to get to all the things or whatnot, but I think this could become a very full-featured BBS terminal.

I'll look at them - no worries. ATM I'm busy reorganizing my projects in general. It has grown too much. I'll move that repo and I'm investing too much in icy_bbs now but icy_term is something I'll look at.

The main issue I didn't that much effort the last ~6 months in term/draw/view is that I might switch to another ui library. Depends on the new pop os cosmic desktop's design choices. If I feel it's worth fitting in their new cosmic deskotp I'll switch the UI lib.
