From mrmazda at earthlink.net Mon Jul 29 19:20:04 2019 From: mrmazda at earthlink.net (Felix Miata) Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:20:04 -0400 Subject: random "characters" in filename field Message-ID: http://fm.no-ip.com/Files/Pix/Tmp/mcCorruption.jpg In this image they are drawn to the right of icewm session (7 on line 25) and rdoc (8 on line 40). This framebuffer screen happens to be 180x56 (1440x900). Font is 256char 8x16 font from file /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/default8x16.gz. This is v4.8.22 on openSUSE 15.1, but I've been seeing these spurious characters at random following fullscreen redraws going back many releases and across different distros. This last instance captured for this screenshot resulted following this key sequence: F3 ESC ESC on the plain text file default-xsession.desktop, and is repeatable, as is: F3 F10 NAICT, those "random" characters are drawn in the same location drawn while the file was in view. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
