Description of problem:
The frames or panels of an application (e.g. mc) started in kds
konsole become meesy using navigation keys (i.e. moving the highlight

2. in Konsole start mc
3. move up and down arrow in a directory

are displayed wrongly

Additional info:

It was fine up to FC2Test3 and no problem in Gnome

Is mc linked with ncurses?  (I don't believe so).

Comment 3 Than Ngo 2004-07-28 13:44:29 UTC
i don't see this problem in FC2. it works for me here. Could you please 
try to configure your font setting in konsole.

mc just uses slang lib.


Comment 4 Janos Lichtenberger 2004-07-29 10:05:02 UTC
I used the default font setting of konsole. Also, it appers not only 
on the case of mc, but in the case of e.g. crisp console mode (cr). 
They both use 'frames' around text and these frames are spoilt after 
some pgup-pgdown together. I can attach xwd from other application if 
needed.
