Bug 554256 – [regression] media-sound/ncmpc-0.24-r1: weird characters when colors are enabled with -r1 version

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description kleph 2015-07-08 18:44:58 UTC]

Weird characters appears in ncmpc interface when colors are enabled.
It only happen with -r1 patch, 0.24 ebuild is fine.

I tested it with urxvt, xterm and terminology, with and without screen.
I tested without config file, it works fine. The problem appears only when enable-colors = yes is set.


Here are my use flags :
artist-screen colors help-screen key-screen lirc lyrics-screen nls search-screen song-screen -chat-screen -debug -mouse

I saw the -r1 patch seems to be related to mouse handling in ncurses so I tried to enable the "mosue" use flag, but it did not help.

Screenshots that demonstrate the problem will follow.

Reproducible: Always

do you have USE=tinfo set on ncurses?

No, the USE flag tinfo was not set.
