The screendump clearly shows that the swap line is 1 character too long, thus
making top scroll the first line off the screen.

This is with 80 columns?


Comment 3 Jan Christiaan van Winkel 2003-10-27 11:55:29 UTC
Yes, indeed, this is with the default xterm width (and console width) of 80 columns.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2004-02-11 13:50:04 UTC
Could you check this with 3.1.15?

Dan
