Re: XTerm on XFree86 3.3-3 trouble
I'd have to double check, but I suspect that none of these were ever bugs... just confusion among people as to what the difference between application mode and the default mode is, wrt cursor and keypad keys; there are sequences that change these. I'm pretty sure xbase itself hasn't changed at all in this regard -- but termcap might have, and if a program crashes without switching back you can see changes too... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Installing ncurses-base, ncurses-term (1.9.9g-2) from master's Incoming should fix this problem. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Yes, i know this document but this really makes me wonder why it actually worked flawlessly up to XFree-3.2 but no more since upgrading to XFree-3.3? It worked ok with xterm without any special tweaking as described in README.xterm but the switch to XFree-3.3 obviously broke something for MC and i'd like to know what it is!?
