This is a draw bug, so self screenshots don't reveal it, but it's on the screen. Causing a repaint (e.g. by moving the browser window on top and back off again), the cursor residue is gone.

The issue is also present if I put the 11.2 xterm binary (along with libXaw8.so) into the 11.3 system.

Only xterm seems affected (with both bitmap and truetype fonts). gnome-terminal does just fine.

Possibly incomplete update on the one machine in question. Investigating.
Comment 4 Thomas Dickey 2010-10-11 23:12:43 UTC
There's a recent bug-report in Ubuntu which points to compiz as the culprit.

It has not occurred in a long time, and does not with the current xterm-312.
