The termcap entry for "sun" still has the "sm" entry, indicating that it is "safe to move in standout mode". Unfortunately, this is no longer so (was under 3.x). This is shown up by the "sc" spreadsheet when scrolling sideways; highlighted letters appear in the wrong places on the screen. Fix: remove "sm:" from the /etc/termcap entry - whoops, I mean /usr/share/lib/termcap. -- UUCP: igp@camcon.co.uk | Cambridge Consultants Ltd | Ian Phillipps or: igp@camcon.uucp | Science Park, Milton Road |----------------- Phone: +44 223 420024 | Cambridge CB4 4DW, England |

Unfortunately, this is no longer so Mine doesn't. Are you sure your termcap didn't come from somewhere other than the 4.0 tape? >This is shown up by the "sc" spreadsheet when scrolling sideways; >highlighted letters appear in the wrong places on the screen. I had problems with teleportation and incorrect highlighting with unipress emacs under 4.0, then I discovered that somehow my tty was getting set with tabs on -- doing "stty -tabs" solved it.

Unfortunately, this is no longer so The correct fix (to make sc display properly) is to remove the "ms" entry (not the "sm" entry) in the "sun" termcap definition. The (5) termcap manual entry makes it clear that this was a transposition in the original message. Peter Marshall, Data Comm.
