If I use xterm or rxvt, I do so using the ssh's X forwarding capability (ssh creates a proxy server on the server side and forwards the connection through a crypted channel to the client's X server.) I have also logged in with ssh from a xterm running on the client side. Using any of these method, the problem appear similarly. > Are you always using ssh?

I have administrative privileges, and I've tried starting zsh straight from /bin/zsh as part of the login process. I also tried executing the newly compiled binary straight from the temporary directory. I would also like to add that I tried removing my .zshrc, but the problem still persisted. (I use the exact same .zshrc elsewhere, so I did not imagine that to be the problem.) > Incidentally, are any other users having the same problem with zsh? That's what I would like to know, too... -- Ville Herva Ville.Herva@netspan.fi +358-50-5164500 Netspan Oy netspan@netspan.fi PL 65 FIN-02151 Espoo PGP key available: http://www.iki.fi/v/pgp.html
