Bug#461541: xterm-231-1 mouse pointer partial pixel issue



Package: xterm
Version: 231-1

After a dist-upgrade this morning (using Debian-testing/Lenny) I noticed the semantics of how the cursor is displayed has changed for the worse.

Before: When I was _began_ typing in an xterm, the mouse cursor would disappear and stay that way until I moved the mouse again.

Now: For instance when I am typing this e-mail I see the cursor or pieces of it show up and then disappear (while) I am typing, so I see 20% or 30% of it show up and go away, show up and go away, it is quite irritating! I'd prefer the old behavior if possible but for now it looks like I will just have to set it to be on permanently until we figure out what happened.

I also tried the -ah and +ah switches but they did not help.

Any ideas/what patch munged the cursor/what is causing this?

Thanks,

Justin.
