My most sincere apologies, this seems to be a problem with all vte based terms (or, at least sakura, termit and evilvte) under ratpoison x86_64. So, I think I will have io take this up with the libvte guys and or the ratpioson devs. Either way, thanks for making such a great term, and I hope you keep on developing it. (Please excuse the typos :)

Thank you for the feedback. :-)
