Hello, apparently the character string generated in jack_cursesmodule that is passed to ncurses is invalid. I can't figure why this happen but I suspect an issue in the python binding in jack_cursesmodule.
Hopefully you can bypass jack_cursesmodule to use the built-in ncurses python binding. It fixes the issue, and a patch is attached to this message. I think it's a viable solution because according to the documentation in the cursesmodule folder [1], the jack_cursesmodule is an old binding of ncurses: version 1.5b1 from before the release of python 2.0 [2] (see the version number at the beginning of jack_cursesmodule.c [3]). So, using the official binding from python is a much more reliable solution. In addition, I can provide a non-maintainer upload for this package and eventually maintain the package.
