Reply-To: rft@cg.tuwien.ac.at Resent-Message-ID: <"-DI-02.0.TM3.v_DYo"@euclid> Resent-From: zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/2379 X-Loop: zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu Precedence: list Resent-Sender: zsh-workers-request@math.gatech.edu When I just tried zsh 3.0.1 on my i386-next-nextstep3 I noticed the following problem: when tying very fast using Ctrl-A and Ctrl-K as well, I can get into a weird screen update problem, where each additional entered character triggers a redraw of the whole line, but with a carriage return before redrawing, and sometimes even some characters will be drawn on top of each other!!! Now this might be a problem with the next terminal, but it didn't happen in zsh-3.0.0. I tried to reproduce the problem with zsh -f, but couldn't. On the other hand I managed to produce a semgentation fault using zsh -f, and just typing characters, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-D, Ctrl-S, Ctrl-K!!! Again, I have never managed to make zsh-3.0.0 produce a segmentation fault. rft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert F.
