Subject: Bug#1103: xdvi doesn't work properly
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=92279745305755

I'm using xdvi to view dvi files and it does not work properly under KDE-1.1:

  - it does not update its view contents when the dvifile is updated.
  - when viewing more pages, the information outside the viewing area is lost.
    Scrolling the page only shows an empty area. Only after typing R (rereading
    the dvifile) it shows the correct information.

The problem is definitely related to KDE-1.1 after starting kwm. The problem
does not
appear when

  - starting a failsafe session
  - using fvwm2
  - using KDE-1.0 (if I remember it correctly)

Somehow it has to be related to the Xprotocol: It doesn't matter where I run
xdvi.
Both running it locally on Linux or remotely on a HPUX workstation and viewing
locally
shows the same problem.
