I have reported this bug to +DEC support every time we get a new release. I assume that my bug reports +are getting filed (in the circular file). + +It is clear that whoever made this "fix" at DEC had no understanding +of curses whatsoever. As in the earlier posting, the bug can be fixed +by replacing the definitions of the nl() and nonl() macros in curses.h with: + +#define nl() (_tty.sg_flags |= CRMOD,_pfast = _rawmode,stty(_tty_ch, &_tty)) +#define nonl() (_tty.sg_flags &= ~CRMOD, _pfast = TRUE, stty(_tty_ch, &_tty)) + +- john nelson. + +P.S. I did reach someone at DEC who would listen (Thanks Chet!) My + understanding is that they have no plans to fix this bug, as curses + is now "owned" by some group in England, who is working on a port of the + terminfo curses for Ultrix 2.4. I'm just pissed that my bug reports + submitted for Ultrix 1.2 and 2.0 were ignored. |
