[net.sources.bugs] wm problems with vt100s

sean@ukma.UUCP (Sean Casey) (08/09/85)

Wm garbages all over my vt100 whenever it redraws a screen. My guess is it's
because flow control isn't being used and the vt100 can't handle the input.

Anyone else have this problem?  Any fixes?

I am using wm on a HDS 200G, which is very similar to the vt100, and I
have a similar problem, although redraw works fine, sometimes the output
to a window is put in the wrong place in the window.  A redraw corrects
the screen image.   Also once I got it into a state where the help function
would display the screen, but not wait for me to read it before returning
to the window display.  Both problems were correctable by leaving wm and
restarting it.

Has anyone seen this sort of problem, or have a fix for it.

I still like wm greatly, and plan to use it regularly, in fact my .login
questions me as to whether I want the windows or not, default is yes.
My thanks to the author.
