A quick examination of the problem reveals that the "xterm" termcap entry is broken. It defines control sequences for the handling of a dedicated status line that xterm simply doesn't implement. (The codes are apparently those used by kterm.) I verified that these control sequences (capabilities: hs, es, ts, fs, ds) are not implemented by (1) checking the source of xterm and (2) asking Thomas Dickey <dickey@clark.net>, the current maintainer of xterm. >How-To-Repeat: Start screen inside xterm, hit ^Aw. >Fix: Remove the bogus capabilities from the "xterm" termcap entry. --- termcap.old Tue May 18 05:40:07 1999 +++ termcap Mon Jun 14 18:37:22 1999 @@ -298,8 +298,7 @@ xterm|vs100|xterm terminal emulator (X window system):\ :li#65:\ :kh=\EOH:@7=\EOF:kb=^H:kD=^?:\ - :k1=\EOP:k2=\EOQ:k3=\EOR:k4=\EOS:\ - :hs:km:ts=\E[?E\E[?%i%dT:fs=\E[?F:es:ds=\E[?E:\ + :k1=\EOP:k2=\EOQ:k3=\EOR:k4=\EOS:km:\ :is=\E>\E[?1;3;4;5l\E[?7;8h\E[1;65r\E[65;1H:\ :rs=\E>\E[?1;3;4;5l\E[?7;8h:\ :tc=vt220: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
