For instance, if I repeatedly hit the return key, for the initial three hits, the prompt duly moves lower down the screen, but subsequent hits, result in the prompt actually disappearing for half-a-second then reappearing if I pause for a bit. Also, the output from sockstat -4l as well no longer "smoothly" flows up the screen as before. What I get now is a sort of jerky stop-start sort of movement up the screen. Highlighting text for copying-pasting is awkwark as well. In a line of text, if I click from the left and move the cursor over to the end of the line (or say, to the end of a three line paragraph), the highlight doesn't appear unless I hold the left-mousebutton at the end of the desired text for about two seconds, then my text is highlighted. And if it wrong, like capturing a char more than I meant to, then trying to move the end of the highlighted area along just doesn't work anymore. I have to click away, then retry from the beginning. And lastly, using the scrollbar at the (default) right of the terminal is now a blood-curling experience. I could move it right up to the top in one go, and the screen doesn't even change. The original text is still there until I hit the top and then text (again) jerkily makes its way up the screen. Uname info: $ uname -v FreeBSD 4.8-RC #0: Sat Mar 22 12:10:35 GMT 2003 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HAMMER I'm running this on a P111 533 / 384MB RAM. Mind you all other applications (Abiword / Evolution / Gnumeric / Dia) are all fine in terms of mouse interaction. Is there something I could check? Was there a config / optimization switch that I might have missed somehow? Regards, Stacey -- Stacey Roberts B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science Web: www.vickiandstacey.com
