Mutt displays garbage

Description (last modified by brendan) (diff)

When displaying e-mail contents, Mutt often leaves garbage from the previous mail on the screen. The same happens when displaying index of e-mails. I tried different combinations: Mutt-1.4.2.1 + ncurses-5.4 or with slang-2.0.5 and problem persists. After CTRL-L screen is OK.

Fix:

Clean the screan before displaying current page ?

    This might be a terminal and TERM discrepency, or a broken terminfo.
What are you using?


Bye!	Alain.

I am using dtterm under HP-UX 11.11.

All programs (elm, pine, tin, ... ) except mutt work perfectly.

    And what "echo $TERM"?


    BTW your $reply_regexp seems to be misconfigured.


Bye!	Alain.

Followups to bug reports are public, and should go to bug-any@bugs.mutt.org,
and the reporter (unless he is a member of mutt-dev). Do not CC mutt-dev mailing
list, the BTS does it already. Do not send to mutt-dev only, your writings would
not be tracked. Do not remove the "mutt/nnnn:" tag from subject.

I use default reply_regexp .
My LANG is: pl_PL.iso88592. Perhaps it influences reply_regexp ?

    You used ncurses 5.4: What gives "infocmp" command?

    Where exactly do you see garbage from previous mail: There where
tabs or spaces should be, after end of lines, or below end of text?
Other? What gives:

| $ printf " erase EOL failed \015 \033[44m \033[K \033[m"

    In general locale charset and $config_charset do influence
$reply_regexp, right. But not for the default $reply_regexp which
contains only pure US-Ascii. I wonder where that "Re: Re: " came from?


Bye!	Alain.

    I don't get it: Could you please show screen copies of this garbage,
before and after ^L? Especially of the <save-message> prompt.
