Subject: [Qemu-devel] [BUG] GTK terminal is broken
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 18:04:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51F6927E.5040202@weilnetz.de> (raw)

Hello,

maybe most developers will already have noticed that the terminal output
in QEMU's GTK user interface is broken. As far as I know, it never worked,
but as there are working alternatives, I did not care much and forgot to
report the issues.

See these snapshots which show the problems with QEMU's GTK terminals:

http://qemu.weilnetz.de/test/bugs/qemu-gtk-demo1.png

Here the first line of the QEMUmonitor is only partially visible.
Tested with Cygwin/X on W64 host, QEMU running on Debian Linux.
Other X servers (e.g. native X on Debian Linux) don't show this problem.


http://qemu.weilnetz.de/test/bugs/qemu-gtk-demo2.png

This shows crippled output of "help" in the QEMU monitor
(look for "default frequency" at the bottom of the page).
Tested with several X servers.


http://qemu.weilnetz.de/test/bugs/qemu-gtk-demo3.png

This shows crippled output in the QEMU serial console.
The Linux kernel boot messages are hardly readable.
Tested with several X servers, x86 and mips kernels,
GTK 2 and GTK 3.


Regards,

StefanW.
