>Number: 3779 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: changing cursor to blinking block causes display corruption >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Jun 4 12:50:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Larry Baird >Organization: GTA >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386 >Environment: slower machines show problem (i.e 486). >Description: I am still working on understanding this problem. But sometimes when using a blinking block cursor in character mode the screen gets corrupted. It appears to only happen on slow machines. When the problem first happens I notice a few extra bits (same bit pattern) appearing in each position of the screen on all consoles. The screen will then slowly get more and more corrupted until it becomes unreadable. The systems continue to run fine. >How-To-Repeat: Send "\033[=3C" to one of FreeBSD's consoles and wait. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
