Bug 330007 – net-irc/xchat-2.8.8 channel status dot in wrong place

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Westly Ward 2010-07-27 00:25:33 UTC]

When running xchat 2.8.8 with the most recent patch, IE the one that fixes the input bar height, the status dot is above the nick, when it should be to the left.  Screenshot at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1614806/Screenshot-XChat.png

Please just attach the file next time instead of relying on external resources.

Sorry, I didn't see any attach button until after I had posted it

Rafał you wrote the patch. Can you fix the problem?

[Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2010-07-27 02:40:29 UTC]

Well, it may take awhile - I've never saw that dot myself.
Is that the channel op marker ?

Created attachment 240321 [details, diff]
fixed patch

OK, I think I've got it.
Seems that I didn't need to change one of the lines.
Frankly, the original patch is so old, that I no longer recall,
why did the change seemed needed back then.

Ok, I replaced the old patch with this patch and now everything seems to be fixed.  Thanks for the help.  One question I have is, will this ever get into the main branch of portage?

Lemme give this patch another testing and when I'm content with the result I will replace the old patch with this one.
