Re: Problem if "vm-summary-arrow" is not a 2-character-long string

[Uday Reddy]

By the "launchpad version", I mean the trunk or "development version". You need to access the latest revision, e.g.,

  https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vm/vm/trunk/revision/1538?start_revid=1538

and you can download the tarball from there. 

The only difference between this and a public release is that you have to run "autoconf" before anything else. This is the step 0 described in the INSTALL file.

Cheers,

Yes, I recall that there was some fontification code contributed by one of
our users that assumed a fixed length.

I might have fixed it in the Launchpad version, which is pretty much the
standard version now, even though it hasn't gone through a release.

Please try it and let me know if you still get the problem.
