Description Enrico Scholz 2004-02-13 02:07:49 UTC 
Description of problem:

With 'TERM=xterm' and current ncurses I get some strange effects:

* 'mc' in xterm is monochrom only, but in gnome-terminal it has normal
colors. Setting 'TERM=xterm-color' makes it colorized in xterm again,
but some keys are broken there.

* 'vim' displays a '^[34m' string


When using the xterm terminfo-file from ncurses-5.3, things are fine
again.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ncurses-5.4-1

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2004-02-26 12:16:37 UTC 
This bug can be worked around by using "export TERM=xterm-color"
Comment 6 Enrico Scholz 2004-02-26 12:36:02 UTC 
xterm-color has broken keys:

1. set 'XTerm*termName: xterm-color' resource in ~/.Xresources
2. xrdb ~/.Xresources
3. xterm
4. vim
--> press i + Backspace  --> literal '^?' appears (or a beep)
Comment 7 Eido Inoue 2004-02-26 19:21:03 UTC 
comment 6: doh! you're right. remapping. will be fixed in 5.4-4
Comment 8 Alexandre Oliva 2004-07-17 20:14:34 UTC 
The `* 'vim' displays a '^[34m' string' bug is back in gnome-terminal
on today's rawhide (FC3test1+updates).  The following packages are
running:
gnome-terminal-2.6.0-4
vim-enhanced-6.3.013-1
ncurses-5.4-10.fc3

I haven't noticed the problem before installing updates, but since I
don't use vi much, it may well have gone unnoticed.
Comment 9 Karsten Hopp 2004-07-22 09:10:24 UTC 
The vi '^[34m' string was a different bug 128344. 
A lengthy discussion about all the ncurses applications being 
monochrome only (again) is going on in bug 122815, so this one might 
be a candidate for 'duplicate'
Comment 10 Alexandre Oliva 2004-07-30 07:04:41 UTC 
Closing again, the problem seems to be fixed.
Comment 11 Leonard den Ottolander 2004-07-30 13:57:52 UTC 
What kind of status is ON_DEV? It's not described in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/bug_status.cgi. Also if the bug
is fixed shouldn't the bug be closed with a proper resolution?
Comment 12 Leonard den Ottolander 2004-07-30 14:02:42 UTC 
Sorry, slip of the mouse that "NOTABUG".
Comment 13 Alexandre Oliva 2004-07-30 14:25:08 UTC 
Must have been a slip of the mouse on my end as well.  I meant to
choose resolved/rawhide.
