Package: xterm
Version: 330-1
Severity: normal

Having an xterm with "Allow font ops" being enabled, it happens to quit 
after some of these:

 * use "xtermcontrol --font=<N>" with <N> being eg. 0 or 5
 * choose a different size from the font menu

"xterm" doesn't crash, it just gives the above message and quits - which 
would've been unfortunate, hadn't I be running tmux at the time ;)


Still, simply quitting just because the user asks for a different font size 
is bad behaviour - and real data might be lost (generated but not-yet-saved
console output).


What I really wanted to achieve was to switch programmatically between 
different configured font sizes; this doesn't seem to work as expected for 
me. I guess this is a bit buggy as well.
(Using "--font=5" it only becomes a bit larger, "--font=1" keeps it the 
same, "--font=3" has no effect, and then choosing a different size in the 
menu made my xterm quit again...)


Thanks!

Description:
 xterm      - X terminal emulator
Closes: 869248 877628 879936 880120 880407 880551
Changes:
 xterm (331-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - Add workaround for improper grayscale adjustments made in FreeType
       library, exposed by changes to rounding in 2.8.1, which shows up as
       a gap in line-drawing characters (Closes: #880407).
     - Replace constant 10msec delay for next X event with new resource
       nextEventDelay, and reduce that to 1msec to accommodate faster machines
       than used when -hold was implemented in 1999 (Closes: #877628).
     - Add scroll-to action, which simplifies binding a key to scroll to
       the beginning or end of the saved-lines (Closes: #880120).
     - Improve workaround for #542434 by using the font's maximum width
       when no ISO-8859-1 glyphs are provided (Closes: #879936).
     - Additional manpage macro cleanup (Branden Robinson, Closes: #880551).
     - Fix typography in xterm.man (patch by Bjarni Ingi Gislason,
       Closes: #869248).
   * Refresh Debian patches.
   * Use https in the Homepage field.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.3, no changes needed.
