If ncurses is compiled with the 'tinfo' USE flag, the terminal output of joe gets corrupted when scrolling and makes it unusable. In my setup the ncurses 'tinfo' flag is required by the CUDA debugger. Recompiling joe didn't help. Recompiling ncurses without 'tinfo' USE flag restores normal behavior of joe. Affects all versions of joe (3.7-4.1). Restricting ncurses:5 to use tinfo only pulls in ncurses:0 with tinfo also.
I cannot reproduce this problem (and yes, I have ncurses compiled with tinfo USE flag being enabled) Can you please describe in what environment you have this problem? What shell are you using? What kind of terminal? Also please post the output of "emerge --info" to this bug. Furthermore please try with joe-4.2 which I added to portage in order to have the latest release for testing ready.
No difference with joe-4.2. Actually the terminal gets f'ed up only after recompiling joe after ncurses also. emerge --info: Portage 2.2.26 (python 3.4.3-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-5.3.0, glibc-2.21-r2, 4.4.6 x86_64)

Addendum: Terminal is KDE's Konsole.
I don't see the terminal corruption but I found today that joe fails to link against ncurses[tinfo]. I have a patch at hand and will a) apply it to latest available joe ebuild (4.3) b) send it to upstream for inclusion. Thanks for the report.

Thanks again for the feedback. Should be fixed now. I didn't test with USE="xterm" which caused this bug to appear. Please try again and let us know if this is finally fixed for you.
joe works again as expected. No corrupted terminal. Bug can be closed. Thanks!
