• Golded not showing linedrawing characters after update

    From Wilfred van Velzen@2:280/464 to All on Wednesday, February 07, 2024 15:32:51
    Hi All,

    I updated from GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20161221 to 1.1.5-b20240205 yesterday. (Compiled it myself using cmake)

    Now linedrawing characters are not showing correctly.

    Here's an example from the STATS area, with the new version:

    Here it is with the old version in a remote putty session:

    And the old version locally in a Konsole terminal, which is the most correct:

    How can I fix this with the new version?

    I suspect that one of the recent patches messed up with the ncurses initialization.

    Here is a temporary workaround for you. Before running GoldED, just run

    tput init

    Could you use git bisect to find the version which has broken this functionality?

    It doesn't help for the linedrawing characters inside a message.

    improve ncurses init/deinit

    This change allows seeing help on Linux when started with parameter '-?' or
    '-H'. Trailing critical log messages will be printed too.

    On the other hand, it didn't seem to make things worse either, so it's probably save to pull it in...
