Hi, current cvs start joe hit ^T E (Select file character set... appears) hit Esc twice (Set mark... appears) hit Esc once again (Set mark... disappears) hit ^C -> joe starts eating 100% cpu and I have to "kill -9" it or close its terminal. -- Egmont |

For me it doesn't need "kill -9", just "kill". Remember that "kill -9" is an emergency measure which should *never* be used except as a last resort - it doesn't give the application an opportunity to clean up before it exits. In the case of joe, doing "kill" gives it a chance to save its buffers to DEADJOE before it exists. (But apart from that, yes I get the same bug when I follow those steps) Cheers, Brian. |

I know what kill -9 exactly means, I was just too tired when I found this bug, and hence I don't know why I haven't tried simple kill... but it doesn't matter really ;) -- Egmont |
