This also affects vim because the bottom portion of screen in vim is not cleared before redrawing. This leaves the existing characters on the screen in the areas where no next is written (i.e. after the ends of lines and blank lines). To reproduce the problem: 1. From any bash shell, resize the window narrower so that a scrollbar appears at the bottom of the screen. 2. vim a file or run 'clear' Win2000 version 1.1.4 Jim Hickey jim_hickey@hp.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
