There's been changes w.r.t. intangibility which might explain the bug and which should be fixed now. This also applies to the cursor motion. It's definitely not perfect now but it's probably slightly different. > There are some other, more minor problems with this: > > (1) The dir file (and presumably other info menus) I have was > formatted assuming that no text would be hidden, so in some cases, > the invisible text results in a very wierd looking display. > > Here's an example display from my *info* dir node (these are all > debian entries): > > --- begin quote --- > * CVS Concurrent Versions > System > * CVS client/server Describes the > client/server protocol > used by CVS. > * gcc-295 The GNU Compiler > Collection (Version > 2.95.x). > * Gdb The GNU debugger. > * Gdb-Internals The GNU debugger's > internals. > --- end quote --- We should probably refill the text. After all, I think this problem only happens for the `dir' file, not in other menus. Stefan
