Yup, the bug exists in Ultrix 2.2 as well. 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.
