Typing dead key ` apostrophe > then press letter "a" while the mouse pointer is over the scrollbar area of an xterm? yes - I can reproduce it. Actually once I was made aware of the issue, I could see in my mind where the problem might lie. But I just verified it since you reminded me (on one of my Linux machines). My idea about the problem is that since xterm has setup translations (which capture the input) on more than one widget (without appearing to address this special case), that it might be that there's a better point in the widget to attach the translations to. This was discussed a little late in the #277 cycle to want to hold that up, so I had in mind to spend some time investigating a solution for it during #278. -- Thomas E.
