We have just switched to System 5 r2 (Xelos, Perkin-Elmers port). I have some programs that use curses, and have discovered a problem with refreshing. It seems that curses is not attempting to delete characters that should not be on the screen. This is most evident in a bar graph program that we have that monitors system performance. Only in certain cases are the updates done properly. I have not determined the exact sequence of events to reproduce this anomoly, but it is so evident on our system, that it must something major. Has anybody seen something like this. Perkin-Elmer may not have fixed any initial problems with the System 5 curses. They may have also introduced this one. Anybody have any ideas?
