xchat output is terrible... lines are truncated, letters are missing etc. My use flags are: USE="-kerberos gtk gtk2 qt kde userlocales dvd dvdr cdr oss cups foomaticdb ppds usb apache2 doc samba alsa arts postgres" This didn't happen before, but I don't remember if I had earlier xchat version or different flags. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Which version of xchat? Please provide the output of emerge --info too
I have 2.4.1-r1, the latest version available from portage. I installed 2.4.2 from the xchat webpage and it works fine.

I can't reproduce it here. And upstream's ChangeLog doesn't mention anything that was fixed from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 that deals with such a bug. Did you took a binary package of 2.4.2 from xchat.org or do you compiled it yourself?
I compiled one myself.
How does 2.4.3 behave?
I'm also having trouble with net-irc/xchat-2.4.5 rendering. Occasionally xchat won't render the channel tabs at all, until they're clicked. Usually at the same time it stops rendering the entire page of text except for the newest line, at the bottom. I can make it refresh by dragging something over it, or minimizing the window for a moment, but the problem comes right back. Restarting xchat does resolve the problem, for a time. I have KDE's translucency turned on ATM. I'll turn it off and see if the problem goes away. If it does, is there any way this bug can be reported to the devs in charge of that translucency? ##### emerge info: ##### Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict usepkg" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/michael/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa anthy apache2 arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bootsplash bzip2 bzlib canna cdda cddb cdio cdparanoia cdr cjk crypt cups curl custom-cflags dga divx4linux doc dpms dts dvd dvdr dvdread dxr3 edl eds encode esd exif expat fam fb fbcon ffmpeg flac flood foomaticdb fortran freewnn gd gdbm gif gimpprint glut gnome gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile httpd icq idn imagemagick imap imlib immqt ipv6 java javascript jpeg junit kde lcms ldap libclamav libg++ libwww logitech-mouse lua mad mhash mikmod ming mjpeg mmx mmxext mng mono motif mozdevelop mozilla moznoirc moznomail mozp3p mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg4 mplayer msn ncurses nls nowebdav nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl oscar pam pcre pdflib perl php png ppds python qt quicktime readline real ruby samba sdl slp spell sse sse2 ssl stream subversion svg svga tcltk tcpd tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts udev unicode usb vcd vcdimager vlm vorbis win32codecs xine xml2 xpm xv xvid yahoo zeroconf zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS ##### End emerge info #####
does 2.6.x fix the issue for you?
