Description Gregory Leblanc 2000-07-04 22:31:31 UTC

When using ncftp on terminals that aren't sized 80x25, the ncftp command 
line "scrolls" at 80 columns.  This behaviour is easy to demonstrate, 
connect to ftp.freesoftware.com using ncftp, in a large terminal (frame 
buffer console, or some for of large xterm).  cd to 
/pub/linux/redhat/redhat-6.2/sparc/RedHat/RPMS.  type in get 
XFree-ISO8859-7-Type1-fonts-1.0-4.noarch.rpm
You'll get the $ at the beginning of the line, while it hasn't filled the 
screen.

Can't reproduce bug in Pinstripe, fixed by new ncurses?

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-16 10:11:46 UTC

Can't reproduce it on 7.0final either.
