All releases of xterm newer that 229 (i.e. since June '08) have a
broken scrollbar. It never bothered me enough to post a message, but
I've been setting up some new systems and have found it annoying to
dig up xterm-229 and manually install it.
These images show what the scrollbar used to look like (and what it
still looks like in all recent Linux distributions, even with latest
xterm builds):
Problems like that shown with the scrollbar are usually a compile-time
mismatch on floating-point. There's a configure option for xterm to
address this (--enable-narrowproto or --disable-narrowproto), since
the mismatch is not detectable via automatic checks.
