For example, the one where the echo area shows this: Write current buffer to another file Re-read current buffer from its It is quite clear that this happened because the second help-echo, the one on the right, was written starting at the x-coordinate where menu ends, and not at x = 0, as it should have. Or take this: -- -- Print Buffer where both the leftmost "--" and "Print Buffer" have red background. Here, instead of overwriting the red-background "--" with the blue-background "--", the terminal drew the latter starting where the menu ends, i.e. again at the wrong x-coordinate. Etc., etc. The question is: how come the same terminal obeys those same commands when they are re-played (perhaps more slowly) later? Could some termcap/terminfo specialist please help figure this out?
