SOFTWARE VERSION: 5.0-beta2 and all later versions STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: Open XTerm, search for options described below. EXPECTED OUTCOME: No options present ACTUAL OUTCOME: There should be options to toggle scroll bar, reset and clear terminal, and reverse colors. REPRODUCIBILITY: always OTHER COMMENTS: Patches for OS2008 XTerm available here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=23291&page=2

The scroll bar feature would be INVALID for Fremantle, and it's probably better to split the other two into separate bugs. Keeping this one for reset. I can't find a patch for the reverse function apart from a partial one in <http://pastebin.com/f64c43915>, but please feel free to open a new enhancement request if you can locate it.
Created an attachment (id=1312) [details] add reset/reset_and_clear functions to the menu A starting point for adding reset functions back, against 0.14.mh24 (I couldn't build trunk, sorry). My hildon-fu is very weak, so any criticism is welcome. One thing that's definitely wrong with it is that the button labels are not localised. Other than that it seems to work fine here. To test: 1. Start osso-xterm. 2. Run "head /bin/sh" to corrupt the terminal. 3. Select either Reset or Reset and clear from the menu to recover.

Ironically, a lot of these features actually are in osso-xterm but options to use them are taken out (as is the case with the reset and reset-and-clear features). I'm using scratchbox over SSH and I can tell you that reset(-and-clear) are definitely neeeded.
Fixed as of osso-xterm-0.14.mh28: https://garage.maemo.org/svn/osso-xterm/osso-xterm/tags/0.14.mh28

Marking patches of interest to Diablo (Maemo4) community updates, please excuse the noise.
Internal version 45-14 that I am running here definitely offers the option to Reset as it's osso-xterm 0.14.mh29. Don't know if the fix wa already included in 1.2009.41-10.
