Thanks for the additional info. I was able to reproduce it. Apparently LC_ALL plays its role.

Hi Sergey,

strange. I just retried myself again, with success. I think it is necessary to have an xterm of 80x76 chars (80 width, 76 lines). Well, at least it shows in this case.

I could not reproduce either report using the CVS version.

Hi,

on Debian we got two bug reports that info does not properly redraw the screen in some circumstances. The first one I could reproduce with 4.13.91. Original quote follows, the mentioned .info file is attached to this bug:
------- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596856 --
I have the following display problem. I don't think this comes from
the terminal as the problem is reproducible with both xterm and
gnome-terminal.

1. Open a 80x76 terminal (e.g. xterm or gnome-terminal).
2. Type "info ./mpfr.info.gz" (with the attached file).
3. Search for "random" (type: /random[Return]).
4. Search for the next 7 occurrences (/[Return] 7 times).

At the last occurrence, one has:

6.4 Removed Functions
=====================

Functions `mpfr_random' and `mpfr_random2' have been removed in MPFR
3.0 (this only affects old code built against MPFR 3.0 or later). (The
function `mpfr_random' had been deprecated since at least MPFR 2.2.0,
and `mpfr_random2' since MPFR 2.4.0.)

[several blank lines]

use `mpfr_get_z_exp'.

[...]

The "use `mpfr_get_z_exp'." shouldn't be there. It disappears with
a Ctrl-L.
----------------------------------------------

Another similar bug report is in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408463 which I quote here:
------- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408463 ---
Install libtool-doc, run "info libtool", search (s) for "symbolic",
and repeat the search (s RETURN) 3 times. On the third time, there's a
dropping of the part-word "ide" (from "idea") on the left-hand end of
a line under "man" and next to "These". I get this result in an xterm
of 34 lines and 127 columns, and an rxvt of 34 lines and 113 columns.
---------------------

This one I tried to reproduce without success.

Thanks

Norbert
