Hi Ed,
Could this be related to the syscons changes in 8.x?
Thanks,

Can you folks try the following patch to see whether it fixes the issue? http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/contrib/ee/ee.c?r1=192954&r2=196750&view=patch Greetings, -- Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ State Changed From-To: open->feedback Ed wanted more input Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->ed Ed, I think this is your land i cannot reproduce this PR under HEAD, 8.1 (via ssh) or 7.3 (via ssh). the shell is zsh and $TERM is xterm. are the exact ascii codes for the characters that are causing problems 0x0e9 and 0x0e8? cheers alex -- a13x State Changed From-To: feedback->closed This bug no longer applies. We backported ee to 8 properly. |
Running ee at the console and typing diacritics (like é or è) shows letters as blinking characters in reverse video. Fix: Not sure whether it is a ncurses or a ee issue but in 7.2 it used to work fine (even though it didn't in an xterm). How-To-Repeat: Run ee, type one 'é' and observe.
