Description James Antill 2002-09-25 22:29:18 UTC
Description of Problem:
 If I run "xemacs -nw -f gnus" over ssh, and then resize the gnome-terminal then
gnome-terminal will crash.
 I can also do it by running xemacs -nw, then doing "C-u 10 M-x hanoi"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5

How Reproducible:
 Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xemacs -nw
2. C-u 10 M-x hanoi
3. Resize gnome-terminal window

Actual Results:
crash

Expected Results:
not crash

Additional Information:
 Running top doesn't seem to have a problem

 This seems to be somewhat related, the perl...

perl -e 'print " " x (80 * 32) . "\e[A" x 128'

...will move the cursor off the top of the screen, which shouldn't happen.

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-11-04 06:51:48 UTC
Hi James, the current version of vte doesn't appear to crash by
following your steps.  I'm going to close the bug, but if you see the
problem in a recent version of vte, please reopen.
