I would imagine that would happen connecting to a Synchronet board too. I believe both softwares capture the mouse on connect, which makes copy/pasting not possible unless you disable that feature.

I don't connect to many boards, but they are all Synchronet boards and it works for me. I suppose the SysOps have mouse capture disabled.

After seeing dm's message, it seems that I either disabled mouse capture or never enabled it.

I'm still slowly catching up. I have no idea why I'd want a BBS to capture my mouse activity. ;)

The reason would be for clickable menus and such. Try it out.

Something happened to icy_term on my computer. I'm not sure if a windows update broke it or if I have hardware failing. Under linux it segfaults and the windows version (I assume) does the same as it never opens.

It shouldn't be able to segfault unless something very low level happens. Which GFX card do you use? Which version was the last working one?

A very old one (let's say 0.2.4) may support a wider range of hardware. The recent ones are all using shader code for rendering. The next time I rework the graphics code I'll work on implementing a fallback.

Hi Omnibrain,

It shouldn't be able to segfault unless something very low level
happens. Which GFX card do you use? Which version was the last working
one?

It's a laptop with AMD Ryzen and Radeon graphics. (No other information is
in windows). It seems to run most games I thow at it.

A very old one (let's say 0.2.4) may support a wider range of
hardware. The recent ones are all using shader code for rendering. The
next time I rework the graphics code I'll work on implementing a
fallback.

I'll check a few versions back... At one point I could have sworn I had the current version working in both Windows and the WSL install I have, but now neither work.
