Correct, I do not observe the bug you mention in my installation. I also |
| 35 |
tried in fluxbox and the redrawing happens in the same way right from the |
| 36 |
start, except fluxbox does not use a compositor, so (re)wrapping is a bit |
| 37 |
jerky and shows up half a second after I stopped resizing the window. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I need to explain I have added urxvtd in my start up: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
if [ -x /usr/bin/urxvtd ]; then |
| 42 |
/usr/bin/urxvtd --opendisplay --fork --quiet |
| 43 |
fi |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
so additional terminals launched with '/usr/bin/urxvtc -pe tabbed' reuse the |
| 47 |
same single process of the daemon, making them faster and more economical in |
| 48 |
resource usage. I assume they inherit some of what's already in memory and |
| 49 |
this may be a reason why I don't observe your reported bug - although I can't |
| 50 |
recall if I have this running in fluxbox. |
