Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libncursesw5
Using an xterminal with TERM set to ansi-mono, I size it for 80 columns
by 40 rows. Running "tin" will display a corrupt initial screen
(assuming you have some newsgroups in your config!). When running
"newsbeuter" the screen will scroll and corrupt when you try to do an
initial "r" command (again, assuming you have some feeds configured, and
that you disable automatic "R" on newsbeuter startup).
In the case of newsbeuter I've looked at the generated escape sequences,
and it appears that ncurses has incorrectly kept track of the current
column. It uses "Esc[40d" to move to the bottom line, but it has left
the current column way over on the right. So when it emits "Loading..."
it then causes the screen to scroll. It appears that curses has it in
mind that the column is at 0 or thereabouts. I've verified this
regression on both xterminal as well as a physical ANSI terminal.
