I noticed the following behavior from X windows (X11R4) on a Sun 3/60 running SunOS Release 4.0.3. Consider the scenario - start "xterm -geometry 80x20+318+100 -borderwidth 1 -font 9x15" or move an existing window (80xN) to a position which is indicated by xwininfo as (among other things) ==> Absolute upper-left X: 320 ==> Width: 738 - within the newly created window, run 'vi' - (manually) enter 80 characters on a single line As soon as the cursor 'hits' the right border, a small white box occurs in my root window, right from the cursor. A refresh removes the white box. The y position and size does not influence the behavior; other x positions do not result in white spots. Erik Baalbergen -- Erik H.
