Description Miloslav Trmač 2005-01-08 18:27:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
This problem is one of those buried deep in bug 122815;
it might be the cause of bug 128375 and others, but I
haven't examined them.

I hope providing a minimal, easily reproducible testcase will
allow focusing on this single issue for this bug report...

TERM=xterm by default in gnome-terminal, but gnome-terminal doesn't
implement the "indn" and "rin" control sequences in xterm's
terminfo entry. This can lead to display corruption.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ncurses-5.4-13
gnome-terminal-2.7.3-1
vte-0.11.11-6

Steps to Reproduce:
$ gcc nctest2.c -lncurses
$ ./a.out
[test string is at line 10, like it should...]
press any key
[test string is still at line 10, should be at line 20...]
press any key to exit

Similarly when compiling with -DUP, except that the role of
lines 10 and 20 is reversed.

Test case.

Silly me... it is already fixed in rawhide (vte-0.11.11-15).
Sorry for the spam.

Let me just note that having that as a FC3 update would be
really nice.
