[news.software.nn] The nn "blink"

mrapple@quack.UUCP (Nick Sayer) (02/25/90)

I am (still!) running 6.3.1, and have noticed one small thing
that's bothered me for a while. Appearantly when "drawing"
the article menu screen, after placing the bottom line, it
APPEARANTLY does a "clear to end of screen" BEFORE turning off the
reverse video, or something, because my screen from that line down
will blink inverse, then go back to normal. It's a minor thing, but
it's a bit hard on the eyes. Is my hypothesis on the cause
correct, and/or has it been fixed, and/or is it just my stupid
tty (TVI-925)?

P.s. I'll soon be up at 6.3.10 or so. Can't wait for 6.3.12! :-)
