Xterm gets corrupted on alt-drag (refresh fixes) #10

Open MarioNigrovic opened 3 years ago

MarioNigrovic commented 3 years ago

It seems when I use alt-drag to move an xterm, not infrequently some of the content of the window or the decorations will get corrupted and will show content from elsewhere in the window. This is actually display corruption only, and a window redraw (^L) or a screen refresh (alt-L) will clear up the problem (although sometimes the problem is with the window border, and ^L won't fix those). I'm suspecting it's some kind of problem with wmaker because it doesn't happen in a KDE session, so I figured I'd report it here in the hopes that there's a quick solution. I'm on a virtual X86_64 machine running CentOS 7. I'm on wmaker 0.95.6.

Here's a snapshot of a corrupted window. You can see the section at the lower center where the contents of a different part of the window are duplicated.

Hm. Seems like some refreshing issues under VNC, as you provided xvnc version, is that correct?

MarioNigrovic commented 3 years ago

It doesn't seem to happen nearly as much when I use Xfce, which is why I decided to post the issue here. I also use wmaker on my personal machine at home, and I don't see the problem there, so, yeah, there's some correlation with severity and wmaker, but it may be that wmaker is more vulnerable to a bug in the underlying X server. I hoped maybe some other wmaker users would have insights that could help.

Also, please bear in mind, that 0.95.6 version is really old - three releases behind, 6 years gap, where a lot of changes and fixes has been done.

Any more details regarding operating system on the host which run VNC client , but also the hardware details for both client/server would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's where I'll start, then - getting the latest version installed.

Cool, thanks!

Unfortunately, upgrading to 0.95.9 did not alter the behavior and the problem continues to exist.
