Description of problem: I'm running mc (4.6.1a-35.el5, mc-4.6.2-3.pre1.el5) and when resizing window I see junk in the terminal breaking the formatting (see attached screenshot). I've isolated this to be a konsole problem as neither gnome-terminal nor xterm exhibit this issue. Having the gdm service running does not affect the results. 100% Reproducer: - open new konsole - start mc - grab the corner and try resizing the window a couple of times, or just enlarge it slowly so mc redraws a couple of times The corruption usually appears in 3-5 redraws. I'm running the latest of RHEL 5.2 (prerelease) on i386, fully updated to tree 20080326. kdebase-3.5.4-18.el5 mc-4.6.1a-35.el5, mc-4.6.2-3.pre1.el5 (scratch build)
