How do I go about resolving this.On my machine, if I go into /usr/bin and run xterm directly, THEN run mc (or mc -x) the mouse works properly. However if I pass any parameters to xterm, such as -g 150x40 -e mc then the mouse stops working and I get keycodes on the mc command line. I should note that I get into /usr/bin by running this small script. cd ~ xterm -g 153x40+150+20 -fn 10x20
That could be this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495435 e.g., if xterm is confused about the screensize due to this race (which is hard to fix due to the interaction between X11, Xt libraries and the window manager -- there's _always_ a delay). As a workaround, just typing "resize" should fix that. If you happen to see the problem again, it's worth a moment to verify. fwiw, I do this: resize -s 40 80 to get a 40x80 screen (works _all_ the time :-) -- Thomas E.
