Lines: 31 Xref: utgpu comp.unix.wizards:5391 comp.bugs.misc:70 I need help from people who have used Curses and are familiar with terminfo. Recently I have been using curses and have noted some strange behavior. I am not sure if the problems represent "features" of curses or are indicating that I am using curses incorrectly. Any help on the following is appreciated. 1. I have noticed that cursors can not create a box around a window which is the size of the entire screen. The last row, last column position remains "unboxed". 2. The screen cursor often flickers across the screen as I enter text when using getstr or getch. This flickering seems to be worse if I have used reverse video for displaying any text or boxes on the screen. 3. If I define a boxed window, with a reverse video border, which starts in column 2 of the screen, the border appears in column 1 and 2, except for the very first row and column which does not contain the border. Has anyone else experienced this strange behavior with Curses? Is it a problem with the tool or with the application using curses? Thanks for any suggestions. L.
