GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 421696
After LF at bottom of screen that causes scroll up, ESC[A scrolls down instead of moving cursor
Last modified: 2007-03-22 23:32:27 UTC
Please describe the problem: vi and some curses applications scroll up by moving to the last line, sending LF to scroll, then ESC[A to move up a line. In vte 0.16.0, the ESC[A scrolls the screen down instead of moving the cursor getting the display out of sync with the application. Steps to reproduce: 1. vi a file longer than the screen 2. delete first line (1Gdd) Actual results: The screen appears as if the line was not deleted. The last line which would normally be blank instead shows the next line of the file. Refresh (^L) fixes the display. Expected results: The deleted line should disappear and the lines below should scroll up. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: On FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE, TERM=xterm using the standard termcap file.
