Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.
