scfg, echocfg, uedit etc blank screen over X

Not sure when this first started happening, but running scfg, echocfg and uedit as a remote X app is giving just a black screen.

When running through strace it seems to loop around

clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, 0, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=1000000}, 0x7ffdc796c770) = 0 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout)

Though not sure if that's any use.

It starts fine with scfg -iD -iC etc.

I don't have a blank screen but garbage when resizing using up to date sources:

I reported similar behavior to syncterm (and this was fixed by @Deuce ):

https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/tickets/111/

scfg -ix is working for me on ChromeOS at least.

Not here. updated OS, recompiled, rebooted, restarted the X system on windows. Same. xterm works fine.

Deuce asked for a bt of all the threads. I believe this is it.

Tried on a different system with Ubuntu 22.10 Same issue. Dan_C reports he's using Slackware, same issue. Let's get this fixed please. It's been over 2 weeks now.

No issues with blank screens with Ubuntu 20.04.06 running the apps on MacOS Ventura with XQuartz 2.8.5. Running 3.20 compiled from the master branch (as of commit 86825b66 from 4 days ago).

I can however replicate the resizing issue that @Ragnarok pointed out but I'd never actually noticed it before now.

At DM's suggestion, I used git bisect to determine the bad commit.

bbs@bbs:~/sbbs-test/repo$ git bisect bad 34747a84 is the first bad commit commit 34747a84 Author: Deucе shurd@sasktel.net Date: Mon Jun 5 13:04:24 2023 -0400

Implement basic frameskipping in bitmap driver

Let's hope this helps more than the bt I provided 3 weeks ago.

Corruption fixed wit febaa22a and blank screen with 7411153e.
