wordgrind-0.8.1 doesn't properly redraw

Open rogerxxxx opened this issue 9 months ago • 6 comments

When having multiple Xorg (and likely Wayland) windows/displays, moving away from the wordgrinder terminal window having open menus (eg. ESC) and then back again, the terminal window shows a corrupted curses/ncurses wordgrinder/menus.

This is likely caused by curses/ncurses not being used for properly redrawing the graphics, and/or the graphics being drawn incorrectly. Again, I've seen this similar with using kermit/minicom curses/ncurses draw method menu items (going from memory here and might be stating the wrong programs), and this seems to be due to the draw methods used. (eg. Linux terminal, console, ...) It really bugs me I cannot properly recall the program using curses/ncurses with a menu for select terminal draw properties, very prominently used terminal program too, however rarely used nowadays!

This might be something to be also associated with UTF-8 drawing, however I have none of these issues with any other programs using curses/ncurses here! I should probably check-out the source code repository and compile, as this might have been fixed since 0.8.1 release many years ago.
