Description of problem: With 'TERM=xterm' and current ncurses I get some strange effects: * 'mc' in xterm is monochrom only, but in gnome-terminal it has normal colors. Setting 'TERM=xterm-color' makes it colorized in xterm again, but some keys are broken there. * 'vim' displays a '^[34m' string When using the xterm terminfo-file from ncurses-5.3, things are fine again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ncurses-5.4-1
Looks like a duplciate of bug 115448.

This bug can be worked around by using "export TERM=xterm-color"
xterm-color has broken keys: 1. set 'XTerm*termName: xterm-color' resource in ~/.Xresources 2. xrdb ~/.Xresources 3. xterm 4. vim --> press i + Backspace --> literal '^?' appears (or a beep)
comment 6: doh! you're right. remapping. will be fixed in 5.4-4
The `* 'vim' displays a '^[34m' string' bug is back in gnome-terminal on today's rawhide (FC3test1+updates). The following packages are running: gnome-terminal-2.6.0-4 vim-enhanced-6.3.013-1 ncurses-5.4-10.fc3 I haven't noticed the problem before installing updates, but since I don't use vi much, it may well have gone unnoticed.
The vi '^[34m' string was a different bug 128344. A lengthy discussion about all the ncurses applications being monochrome only (again) is going on in bug 122815, so this one might be a candidate for 'duplicate'
Closing again, the problem seems to be fixed.
What kind of status is ON_DEV? It's not described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/bug_status.cgi. Also if the bug is fixed shouldn't the bug be closed with a proper resolution?
Sorry, slip of the mouse that "NOTABUG".
Must have been a slip of the mouse on my end as well. I meant to choose resolved/rawhide.
