It's a missing ncurses feature in the older PuTTY that's trigged by an update to ncurses or terminfo in CentOS 8. PuTTY 0.72 added support for the REP (repeating character) command and the newer terminfo adds that as an xterm feature. The Epsilon author spotted it in the PuTTY changelog. So an

It's a display bug in PuTTY+Epsilon, but a subtle one! I upgraded PuTTY from 0.65 on one PC to 0.73 (latest) and the problem disappeared. I still see it on another PC running PuTTY 0.70. I'm still trying to characterize it but the output is correct and it's because I'm using Epsilon to view th

When I use "ls -al" on a directory, for files with only owner read/write permission, the displayed attributes are "-rw-", not "-rw---". That means the file names don't line up with other files in the directory, which makes the listing harder to read. What changed where and how do I fix that?
