Hi,                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
I experienced wyrd crashing quite often on changes of the terminal emulator

It's not *fully* reproducible (about one of ten resizes ends up in a crash)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run wyrd
2. do some wild resizing
3. see it crash (very soon)

I never tried resizing before but it fails for me too.
Well, a problem is: I don't speak ml.

This week I got a mail from Paul Pelzl, where he confirmed this bug -- but he hadn't had any success to track it down by now.

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2012-10-28 11:56:31 UTC]

still valid with 1.4.5?

[Comment 4 D. Danner 2012-10-28 12:37:02 UTC]

I'm not using it regularly anymore, but I could reproduce the issue with version 1.4.5.

[Comment 5 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2013-02-03 16:29:08 UTC]

It got a lot better with wyrd-1.4.6: It only fails if window is resized to less than 80 columns. Rows work fine.

[Comment 6 Michał Górny 2018-07-28 11:59:15 UTC]

Package gone.
