Hi

Thanks for the info.

Is there a reason Wine does not have its own X11 compatible code the 
same way that Mozilla or other Free Software applications do?

Basically the buffer wraps around, so if i manually try and resize the 
window right, the right of the copy repeats the left etc


C:\windows>dir /p /w 
         V
Volume in drive D is Home 
         V
Volume Serial Number is 1234-5678
 
          D
Directory of D:\c\windows\
 
          [
[.]             [..]            [Desktop]       [Fonts] 
notepad.exe     [
[Profiles]      regedit.exe     rundll32.exe    [Start Menu]    [system] 
        s
system.ini      uninstall.exe   win.ini         winhelp.exe     winhlp32.exe
        8 files                3,782,759 bytes
        7 directories     19,766,005,760 bytes free
 
          C

See this text in unwrapped mode of your email client, ths "V" of the two 
"Volumes" appears at the end of the line in an extra collumn.

This is worse if the window is bigger.  This bug also surface under 
other circumstances that I have not been able to repeat yet.
