Description Vincent de Phily 2018-03-27 14:41:16 UTC

atop output is messed up (text at wrong positions, old text not deleted...) when running with ncurses 6.1-r2. Tried recompiling both packages.

atop works fine with ncurses 6.0.

Which terminal emulator do you use?

Comment 2 Vincent de Phily 2018-03-29 15:24:19 UTC

My original test terminals were konsole-17.12.3 and yakuake (uses the konsole component underneath, AFAIK). 

I've now tried with xterm-327, xfce4-terminal-0.8.6. and x11-terms/cool-retro-term-1.0.1. None of those trigger the bug, so it does look terminal-specific as well as being tied to the ncurses version.

In all these terminals, I have either $TERM=xterm or $TERM=xterm-256colors.

Exporting TERM=konsole in the konsole shell fixes the atop behaviour.

I couldn't find any place where I'd have configured that away from the default (I use bash and KDE), so for the moment I'm assuming that "TERM=xterm" is set by konsole.

I'm not sure who's at fault here:
 * did I configure a bad TERM somewhere ?
 * does konsole deviate from normal xterm behaviour but fail to set TERM=konsole ?
 * should ncurse have kept the konsole-compatible behaviour of TERM=xterm that it had in 6.0 ?


I'm glad I found the `export TERM=konsole` workaround (even though I'm not sure where it should be applied), but I'm also waiting on #651720 before unmasking ncurses-6.1 on my machine.

Same here, and upstream bug:
