Description:
After the update to rxvt-unicode 9.16-1, selection does not work properly when the terminal has been resized and there are redraws from applications (like curses).

No text before the last command can be selected in the terminal. Nothing will be in the selection buffer except a newline when a complete line has been selected.


Additional info:
Previous package rxvt-unicode-9.15-3 works fine. It is introuced with new package rxvt-unicode-9.16-1.

The bug has been fixed in the upstream CVS repository (Revision 1.432).

I have extracted only the necessary part that fixes this problem and created a patch (together with a PKGBUILD patch).
A re-build of this package with the attached patches applied can be used until a new offical version rxvt-unicode is released.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a terminal: urxvt
2. Run some commands to fill the terminal. E.g. "ls -l"
3. Run: "man man" (assuming that PAGER is less)
4. Resize the terminal
5. Quit the man page: q
6. Try to select any text from before the command "man man"
7. Even if you manage to select anything there will be no content when you try to paste
This task depends upon
