Subject: Acme gags, if pushed too far!!!
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 1995 04:02:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950815080200.3SxmYpKlMGk2Ix9_wuBL55TuZonWiyO4ZWr8-sX88Ic@z> (raw)
In the pcdist version of plan9, acme gags, fairly consistently, if
the second column is pushed too far to the right. The output is
something like this:
acme: draw: _frcanfit==0: file does not exist
acme 79: suicide: sys: trap: fault write addr=0x0 pc=0x00022ab2
term%
The fastest way to reproduce it, is this:
[1] New a term window.
[2] Start acme.
[3] In the second (rightmost) column, where the directory
``/usr/none/'' is displayed, drag the mouse across the `/' while
holding down the right button, and let go. This stacks a new
window, below, with the contents of the root directory.
[4] Now move the whole column by placing the mouse on the
topmost/rightmost solid square; click and hold the right mouse
button, and move the mouse (column) to the right, passed the right
edge of the window.
Voila.
Step 3 seems to be important in causing this. If it is skipped,
nothing happens.
BTW, and after the fact, is this the right place for this kind of
question/bug-report?

FYI, the system is a Toshiba T2130CT 486DX4 75Mhz, 8 MB, vga
640x480x1, with an AccuPoint (looks like a PS2) pointing device.
