XTerm scrolling in xorg-server @1.20.4_0

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

Hmmm. xorg-server-devel has been on 1.20.x for a long time, and I have 
been running extensively for some time (12 months +) and not seen any 
issues. But then, I don't use xterm.... Now I have tried then yes, I see 
it too.

Does this only affect xterm, or have you seen any other issues with the 
server update ? You say "X11 is really painful to use now." but that is 
not my experience, I have to say. All my use cases worked without 
problems... If not, I would not have proposed the recent update to 
xorg-server.
