It might only be a similar bug. Here are two that are in the same general
area:
Patch #183 - 2003/12/26 - XFree86 4.3.99.903
* add a limit check to ScrnTstWrapped() (XFree86 Bugzilla #981).
Patch #167 - 2002/8/24 - XFree86 4.2.0
* correct limit-checking in ComputeSelect() to handle selections that
extend off the visible area; rather than modify the parameters to
TrackText(), use ScrollSelection() to update the highlighting
limits. (reported by Yegappan Lakshmanan and Nelson Beebe, patch by
Alexander V Lukyanov).
