Identical misbehavior occurs on on two machines I tested (different display hardware, very different motherboards). The problem is not present in 6.0-RELEASE, nor does it manifest after performing "portupgrade -PPR xterm" on that configuration (i.e. it doesn't look like xterm itself is what's actually broken). For comparison, xman's scrollbars seem to work properly. The thumb size oscillated in some other X clients I tried, including xmore and xmessage [using the -file option], but they weren't unusable. Might it be an issue with xorg 6.9.0, since 6.8.2 worked properly, or perhaps in one of the shared libraries? I tried overriding libXaw.so.8 with libXaw3d.so.8; this didn't help. >How-To-Repeat: I have the following lines in my .Xdefaults: *Scrollbar.thumb: None XTerm*scrollBar: true Open an xterm; fill up the window with stuff; press Enter slowly, and watch what happens. Then try dragging the thumb using Button 2. >Fix: Unknown at this time. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
