Greetings:
I have been using FreeBSD 2.1.7 for nearly a year and a half, without
any problems related to pico or text editors in general. However, I
recently did a full reinstall of freebsd over FTP, and am now running
2.2.7. Ever since the upgrade, pico has been behaving rather oddly;
inserting uppercase U's in the top line of the file I am editing (see
example below).
Has anyone heard of this happening? The number of U's vary from 3 or
4, right up to 50 or so. It seems the more I edit, the more U's are
written to the top of the file. The U's are not visible immediately
after I save; I have to exit, and re-view (using cat, pico, or another
text editor.). The U's can be removed by editing them out, and don't
seem to re-appear until some other part of the file is edited.
I checked the bug reports but didn't see anything listed on this
matter. Is there something wrong with my configuration, or should I be
filling out a bug report? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew Stevens.
Example (after I write, exit pico, and cat the file) using the first two
lines of my afterstep configuration file.
- Note that the original line is still intact, just with a ton of U's in
front of it.
