I honestly can't recall if this was fixed, but I noticed it again today. In particular I was trying to do a "chmod +x" command and instead I got "chmod x" and when the "+" was pressed the window and font sizes increased. This was an xterm window. I installed aterm to see if it made a difference. It didn't (same response). So I think it's a Leopard/X11 issue, not a terminal problem.

I am unable to reproduce this. If I did come across it, my first impulse would be to suspect a faulty xrdb entry. If you run

xrdb -q

is there anything like an entry for XTerm.vt100.translations in there? Or in ~/.Xdefaults, if you have such a file? Or do you set either one of XFILESEARCHPATH or XUSERFILESEARCHPATH to any unusual values in your environment? Further, does hitting + work as expected in other X11 applications? You might also check with xev: If you hit + with the cursor in the xev window, the terminal you started it from should display a KeyPress event specifying keycodes and stuff togheter with one or both of
