I use a Lear-Sigler ADM-11 on a dial-up port to a Gould 9050
running UTX 32 (Berkeley 4.2). I use the termcap entry from
/etc/termcap. My shell is tcsh.
When running jove on two windows, I get a one-line misalignment
of the apparent and true positions of the cursor in the lower window.
After the two window mode is drawn on the screen, an extra CR seems to
scroll the screen up one line. However, this only happens with
SOME files. Sometimes reversing the files (i.e., jove foo2 foo1 -
instead of jove foo1 foo2) will cause the problem to go away. And with
some files, I don't get the problem.
I dumped the files with OD. Both end with a newline character.
Both begin with ASCII printing characters.
The following experiments were conducted:
First, changed the "WRAP Y" to "WRAP N" on the adm11 terminal.
This fixes the 2-window problem, however, if you "cat" a file
and it has lines longer than 80 characters, they are NOT wrapped
onto the next line (trailing characters lost).
Second, using my own termcap for the adm11, I changed the
"co#80" to "co#79" and this seemed to eliminate the 2-window
problem. (This is the only difference between my termcap
and /etc/termcap for the adm11.)
I am told that the termcap entry for adm11 has the correct
number of rows and columns and that jove does a tgetent as needed.
Can I make this problem disappear, and how?
