System: FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #6: Sun Jun 15 02:04:05 CDT 2008





>Description:


After compiling THE-3.2 with PDCurses-3.3, an apparent "cursor" is locked near the top left of the edtor window, under
the IDLINE, and no cursor is visable anywhere else within the editor window making editing pretty much useless. A "cursor" does exist as it is possible to enter or modify text, but it is not visable.


>How-To-Repeat:





>Fix:


Downgrade THE-3.2 dependancy on PDCurses-3.3 to PDCurses-3.2.

Recompiling with PDCurses-3.2 produces a visable cursor again.
