           Summary: seven bugs as a package.
           Product: BiCon
           Version: 0.0.20040505
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Software
        AssignedTo: malkarouri at yahoo dot co dot uk
        ReportedBy: munzirtaha at myrealbox dot com


I downloaded bicon, ./configure, make, make install (as root). Now, 
In a gnome-terminal 
[emunzir at localhost emunzir]$ bicon 
BiCon started 
[emunzir at localhost emunzir]$ man man 
doesn't display properly 
1. It shows only in half of the screen 
2. Enter doens't work. It should scroll one line down. 
3. the phrase "line 1-27" comes in the middle of the screen with text below it 
4. vim display INSERT also half the way on screen 
5. cat'ing any arabic filename will work with shaping but upon typing Arabic  
if I pressed BACKSPACE to delete a letter and type again, it will appear in  
the wrong position. Example: 
Using the word صبر for example. In my machine if I press the letters ص then 
ب then ر then BACKSPACE then ر I see on the screen رصب that is the last 
character is not linked to the ones before, no shaping. If I try to write an 
Arabic word and then move using arrow keys the output is even worse. 
6. less'ing an Arabic file won't work. 
 
7. I turned to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), loged in, bicon 
I tried Left alt+shift  and tried to type the letter "e" I got a strange  
question mark. alt+shift again or anything i tried won't allow me to type  
"e". Hence, I couldn't type "exit" to exit and stuck there. Once stucked, I  
tried vim from console, typing "e" gave me the euro sign. Now, I can't type  
":" to exit. It doesn't work. Ctrl+z got me out of vim. I tried Alt+F7 to  
return to GUI but no use. Sequential Ctrl+D's loged me out and now Alt+F7  
back to GUI. Sigh! I decided not to return to that frightening blackhole until  
it's fixed. 
 
I am using Mandrake 10 
I am sorry for making it like this. Feel free to write seven distinct bugs if you have 
time.
