Not worth worrying about though. Cursor handling in dialog is bad for almost everything. It should be mostly off and restored when the application exits. I noticed/remembered the following problems when I ran devmenu to check where the cursor goes: - a PgDn immediately after starting the application causes the cursor to go to the end of the text above the menu. The cursor is normally over OK or Cancel where a "normal" unblinking syscons cursor lowlights the selection. - a suitable font isn't switched to automatically. The line graphics borders are wrong for iso8x16.fnt. The font should be restored when the application exits. Switching the font shouldn't affect other vt's. - devmenu uses too much of the screen and the shadowing wipes out most of the blue border. - the screen attributes aren't restored when applications exit.
