Visual corruption when no prompt is specified about xprompt HOT 5 CLOSED

Ok.
I accidentally closed that issue earlier. My fault.
The problem was that xprompt wasn't drawing the background of the prompt string, so it grabbed garbage on the display to be its background.

That's strange, I have not seen any of those glitches in my machine.
What arguments did you passed to xprompt?
Can you share a screenshot of how it looks? (xprompt grabs the keyboard, so for taking a screenshot you should delay the screenshot for some seconds, say 5 sec, such as scrot -d 5 screenshot.png).
Also, show your font configuration (the left padding of xprompt depends on the height of the first font).

Ok, I've had some problems reproducing it after restarting my X session, but I've managed to get it again.

• Command: ./xprompt -G C -g 800x32 (I got it to glitch after changing the geometry around a few times though)
• Font: DejaVu Sans:size=11

Here you have a picture, but it doesn't always look the same. This one look almost intended, the previous one was like random noise

I did some changes in how the background of the prompt string is drawn, hopefully this will fix this problem. Can you test if it now runs right?

It seems to be working! I've juggled the coordinates around and it doesn't glitch. I'll close the issue, if I see it glitches again I'll just reopen it.
