crashes in panel.update_panels()

[BlameTroi]

Windows 10 up to date, python 3.8, windows-curses 2.1.0.

All attempts to work with panels are failing for me. The usual failure is that my app just quietly dies and with no exception when I call update_panels(). I've been working through the tutorial at tldp.org with success up to this point. I found the attached example panelMove.py on stack overflow and it fails as well and it's a less sloppy reproduction of the problem so I offer it.

I also tried the ncurses.py example in this repository and it fails with an ERR in move_panel().

I have the same problem.

Same here.

curses.panel.update_panels() without panels does not crash.

panel = curses.panel.new_panel(stdscr)
...
curses.panel.update_panel()

crashes.

Any update to this curses.panel.update_panels() issue. I also encountered this when working on an app. Mine doesn't crash but it doesn't update the terminal screen either. I hope anyone with experience can help.

Thanks.

I can confirm that this issue is still occurring. I tried calling curses.panel.update_panels and my application crashes silently on Windows 11 64-bit (up-to-date) with Python 3.11.4

Calling curses.panel.update_panels with no panels added works correctly though.

Same here, Using python 3.11.7 windows-curses 2.3.2. It was soul crushing to run into this bug.
