[Info-vax] Bug in SHOW ENTRY?

[Phillip Helbig---undress to reply]

Run this from deep within several subdirectories and/or directories with
long names and/or with a narrow terminal.  Watch "(executing)" move to
the right.  Once, it will not be visible at all, then it wraps to the
next line and remains there.  This doesn't depend on whether the
terminal is set to WRAP or not.  Since the logic is there for it to
wrap, shouldn't it wrap before any of it disappears?  (I first noticed 
this in a real-life situation where it was not visible at all, which was 
rather spooky at first.)  I see this on 7.3-2 and 8.3 so I assume it's 
been around for a while.
