Re: (some) xterm disappearing when typing

No, it doesn't work.... that would be too easy...

I suspect you might have the problem referred to in http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9780


If you'd mentioned the OS of the remote system you are running the xterm client on, I'd be more sure.

I don't have any of those variables set in my shell, does it make
it more challenging? :-)

plus, if I do have some of those set, shouldn't all xterm fail??

Hi, I ran cygwin X at work and everything works fine except one thing:
we have some special command that launches an xterm to a production
window via ssh/X11 tunneling. This window will disappear on me when I
attempt to type into it.

All my regular xterm works perfectly fine, and I don't see any logs or
anything on the X server side. This used to work with my previous installation
of cygwin X. Does anybody have an idea what's going on here? or even how
do I diagnose this problem, since the window will disappear no matter what I
type.

Does the xterm not produce any error output in the ssh session when it dies?


This issue hasn't really been progressed, because it's hard to duplicate without access to a remote system which shows this problem. A wireshark capture of the packets exchanged with the remote system leading up to the failure might be useful.
