Environment: Ultra 60, Solaris 9 04/03, Recommended patch cluster from
May 30 2003; CDE
Keywords: xterm, vi, copy&paste
Ever since upgrading to this release of Solaris, I am encountering strange
problems when using vi in an xterm, to the extent that vi becomes unusable.
I can reproduce it every time:
- take a text file with a very long line, eg.
$ wc textfile
1 69 1129 textfile
$
- vi textfile
- insert a string using left mouse button into the file using middle mouse
button; if the string to be inserted crosses a line boundary, xterm locks
up solidly.
I believe that xterm is the problem here, not vi, because none of the menus
will work after this (Control + {left|middle|right} mouse button).
dtterm is not affected, but I prefer to use xterm.
