I don't have this installed either. I suppose it does not affect the drawing |

behavior. |

OK, we have a difference in behaviour here. In my urxvt lines longer than the |
| 17 |
window shrinking width are redrawn and wrap into the next line. |

Wrapped lines will now unwrap to take up the increasing window width. Unlike |
| 23 |
xterm, no characters are truncated/lost in urxvt. |

Jorge, your urxvt seems to work differently to my installations here. |
| 32 |
Nevertheless, I'm coming to the conclusion xterm won't behave in the same/ |
| 33 |
similar way as urxvt when it comes to redrawing its window contents. |
