patch to implement new option and resource
As proof of how annoying I find cursor hiding, I've attached a patch
which implement the new -hp and +hp options as well as the hidePointer
resource (man page updates I leave to someone who understands troff :-).
CCing upstream maintainer. see ftp://invisible-island.net for current patch which does (without adding -hp/+hp options) improve the pointer-hiding. The patch from comment #3 seems to do everything I want. I don't need an option, the pointerMode resource will work for me. Now just need to get latest xterm into fedora updates :-). I'll prepare an update when #232 is released. "soon". The big change in the "g" patch was to help isolate an equally annoying case where bold is lost. With some luck, I'll complete that fix tonight. xterm-232-1.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8 xterm-232-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xterm'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-1246 whew. Glad you guys are on top of this. I can confirm that this is a significant annoyance here too. What was most obvious was the black pixel overwriting portions of the text... caused me at first to think I had bad pixels on my LCD!! Except, every machine in the place was doing it... Will evaluate the update and provide feedback as directed. Thank you. Chris, I don't think it's annoying (as implemented in #232) and I'd like to keep it enabled at least in F9. Not sure about F7 and F8. Suggestions? Don't worry, the patch provides a new resource, you can leave pointer hiding on (the default) or use the resource to turn it off (my favorite :-). xterm-232-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
