Is there maybe a connection between this and T8943 ?

We also do see issues on Mageia with terminology-1.8.1 on efl-1.25.1 It crashes from time to time. In xession-errors.log, I do see these logs.

The way I tried to reproduce is by adding some content to the terminal and the execute the following:

I=0; while [ 1 ]; do sleep 1; echo $I; ((I = I + 1)); done

I am not.

Are you using wayland?

Sorry for the delayed response. My email client is treating this thread oddly and I didn't see you had asked for more input.

Is your scroll buffer large enough to go back to where it was scrolled up?

When doing this, do you have splits or tabs?

Do you see the issue even if you don't resize the terminal?

I think it is necessary to put more information. I am using Terminology on Fedora 33, both on Workstation and on Silverblue.

Damn, you're right.
I'm sorry about that.

The bug has appeared again since 1.8.1 with the same behavior

Could you please provide the version of terminology and your version of efl ?

Frankly. I'd prefer a mouseless experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx0eNaGzAZU&feature=youtu.be&t=63

If there are only one split, you could do something like that: https://youtu.be/rHsck-Lv6Zg?t=85

Merci mon bon seigneur ;-)

Btw, on master, the focus moves to the second terminal at the first split and then stays on the same terminal for the other splits.

Thank you @Peter2121.. I had to modify one header that was linux specific in order to make VNC server work:

@cederom,
It seems that has_header meson function is not recursive.
I could reproduce your problem creating symlinks of epoll.h in /usr/local/include/sys or in /usr/include/sys
I don't know why do you have such links (or strange CFLAGS=I/usr/local/include/libepoll-shim) but anyway it is not a standard situation. So I think that libepoll-shim package installed would not prevent correct building of EFL without epoll.

@cederom,
I cannot reproduce your problem on my test PC under FreeBSD 12.1.
I have libepoll-shim package installed, but during the configuration of EFL meson does not detect sys/epoll.h header. I have it installed in /usr/local/include/libepoll-shim/sys/epoll.h and I have CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include exported, but meson does not detect it. Don't you have a symlink of this file in /usr/include for any reason?

It's just

I can confirm that this is the EFL build time configuration issue. Older EFL build works fine with Terminology 1.7.0. I will looks into that epoll stuff in a free moment. Thank you!! :-)

epoll-shim is required by other packages and cannot be removed from the system. If presence of that package impacts Terminology then terminology build scripts need fix.

Thank you for your feedback that it works for you, this is valuable input.

@cederom,
Try to build EFL and Terminology in jail with the strict minimum of other software installed. Terminology and Enlightenment from Git work fine here with EFL 1.24 on FreeBSD 11.3.

Your terminology 1.6.0 is probably linked with an other version of efl, one that was compiled when epoll-shim wasn't installed.

You cannot build a port package with all this other software installed.

Did you build EFL with those flags?
