43secondly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.

45For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on
46Gentoo. Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be
47ignored unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

1100
1101The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
1102patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
1103unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
1104the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine
1105version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce
1106the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to
1107Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug
1108Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug).
1109
1110For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
1111probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a
1112bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that

1171=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1172
1173urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1174the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1175will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1176where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1177and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1178
1179The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1180possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like

1969Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of
1970octets or characters.
1971
1972This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting,
1973for semi-obvious reasons.
1974
1975The sequences received for various modes are as follows:
1976
1977 ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets)
1978 ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters)
1979 ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters)
1980
1981The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
1982code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
1983the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
1984C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
1985cursor positioning).
1986
1987Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
1988
1989 ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
1990
1991One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
1992parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
1993active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
1994
1995Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
1996
1997In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
1998example - anybody out there who needs this?).
