[Info-vax] Bug in SHOW ENTRY?

[Phillip Helbig---undress to reply]

If the file name is short, one sees something like:

         File: _DSA510:[FOO]BLABLA.COM;45 (executing)

If the file name is really long, the "(executing)" wraps to the next 
line.  So far, so good.  However, in-between, this line moves off to the 
right of the screen (whatever WRAP or NOWRAP the terminal has), 
truncating it.  It can happen that no part of the "(executing)" is seen 
(which is how I noticed this).

This is the case on 8.3-1H1 at least.  Does anyone see it on other 
version of VMS?

A related case where I think it is GOOD that the WRAP/NOWRAP terminal 
setting was ignored is VMS MAIL; now lines from MAIL> DIR are wrapped if 
the terminal is WRAP.  One could argue that this is correct, but I liked 
the old behaviour (terminal set to WRAP, but MAIL> DIR would truncate 
the lines).  Was this in intentional change?  In any case, does this 
mean that VMS MAIL is under active development?
