Read complains above. I believe that these are fixed by not using an incorrect termtype (e.g. 'xterm-color', which refers to another terminal type altogether). > > Ache, have you read bin/41143? > > To fix what you mean, just moving 'xterm-color' entry additional color > capabilities directly to 'xterm' entry and making 'xterm-color' as > alias to 'xterm' will be enough to fix PR. Hmmm. Except that 'xterm-color' is widely used as a cap for an older (and incompatible) termtype, as stated in the PR. And the author of xterm has widely criticised FreeBSD's incorrect handling of other attributes. To the point where he has documented the brokeness in his FAQ, and specifically advises to use the termcap supplied with 'xterm'. Again, as stated in the PR.
