I cannot reproduce the problem you described. What is your TERM
environment variable?  Also, did you test it inside "screen"?

Comment 2 Takumi ASAKI 2004-03-28 16:54:50 UTC

% printenv TERM
kterm

And, I don't use 'screen' command.

I checked the cause.
/usr/share/terminfo/k/kterm file is duplicate in two package.

% qpkg -f /usr/share/terminfo/k/kterm
sys-libs/ncurses *
x11-terms/kterm *

So, I re-install ncurses. There is no problem.

After install kterm, There is problem.

Maybe kterm packages's terminfo entry is bad.

Thanks for tracking down the problem. I removed tic line fromkterm ebuilds and added ncurses as (R)DEPEND. (recent ncursesseems to provide kterm terminfo entry) If the problem still persists,feel free to reopen the bug.
