Reflections X & odd fonts

Hi

I have a strange "problem" on a user's Reflections X session.

If he su's to another userid, vi's a file amd then searches for a word in the file the words all become shaded in white.

It might not seem like much of a problem but when this happens it makes it difficult for him to write his code apparently.

Any ideas?

Cheers Barbara

Suggestion 1

Direct logon without su. Does it recurr?

Suggestion 2

Newer version of Reflections

Suggestion 3

Hummingbird

I think 1 and 2 might help. We used to use Reflections and had this issue with an older version.

What is the OS? I've seen different behavior from Reflections logged onto Solaris systems.

Check the profile of userid being su-ed to. Sometimes environmental variables can affect reflections (like LANG).

Hi Martin

I am using HP-UX 11.00 and the user he is suing to his using tcsh so it probably is something to do with its env vars, I'll have a look at them.

Thanks Barbara
