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. # emerge --info Portage 2.3.24 (python 3.5.4-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/hardened, gcc-6.4.0, glibc-2.25-r10, 4.15.12-gentoo

Which terminal emulator do you use?
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: https://github.com/Atoptool/atop/issues/25
