- Tests for xterm:
-
- If system supports window size (i.e., some combination of SIGWINCH,
- TIOCSSIZE, TIOCSWINSZ), start a full-screen program (e.g., Emacs,
- Jove, vi) and resize the xterm window. The program must immediately
- update its screen image for the new size.
-
- If compiled with -DUTMP, starting a new xterm should create a new utmp
- entry. ("who" will show this info.) Exiting xterm should remove the
- entry. Killing the xterm window (or other unnatural exit) should also
- remove the entry. When should entries be made in the wtmp file?
-
- Process group stuff should be correct.
-
- Should work without access to /dev/tty, say started from an xdm
- started from a boot-time script.
-
- If "xterm -help" offers the -C option, it should work.
-
- echo "test" > /dev/tty
-
- vi with lines that wrap.
-
- Exec'ing things other than shells.
-
- Another thing that has caused problems in the past is process groups,
- especially w.r.t. signal propagation to the child.
-
- Popup menu signals: running only a shell, click on "Send INT Signal."
- Do you get a new prompt from the shell? (Same as typing ^C at it.)
-
- Should scroll *fast* with jumpScroll enabled.
-
- While a mouse button is down tracing out a selection, output to the
- screen should be suspended.
-
- Selections more than one screen long.
-
- start xterm running only Tek widget: "xterm -t"
-
-
- Please add to this list if you find xterm failing in some way.
