Hi,
I have a medium sized app that I'm transferring to use curses.
What happens is very very strange.. I am at my wits' ends. I worked
with it all day yesterday and couldn't figure it out. Today morning I
thought about it and still nothing. I hope that some curses expert can
figure out what's wrong from my description. I'm very new to curses so
I am not sure I know which details are crucial, so please answer me if
you need more details.
I have a function that uses win.addnstr() calls to add strings to the
win (which is passed by curses.wrapper) . First time the function is
called, it works just fine. Second time it makes the screen blank and
the only things that show up are single digits that are updated by
another thread. The x coord given to the addnstr() is always 0.
That thread should print a line with elapsed time, full time, and a
short string of text; it should print on the bottom line on screen.
First time it's called it does just that; all other times it prints
only the digits of the elapsed time that are different from what was
already there, and it blanks the rest of the line; and it prints it on
*top* line of screen.
If I call win.clear() at the top of the main redraw function, it works
fine. Full screen is updated and shown. The only problem is that it
flickers while updating. It flickers once but it's annoying enough - I
hope to only update spots on screen that really changed.
If I call win.redrawwin() instead of win.clear(), the lines that
changed are updated and shown, but *all other lines are blanked*.
And if I call neither win.clear() nor redrawwin(), the whole screen is
blanked on second redraw, and as I said only single digits changing
show up at the top of screen instead of bottom.
Things I tried: I passed the same string 'TEST', to all lines. They
show up fine on first refresh, then disappear. So this is not about
the strings I pass.
I have other threads updating the screen, but even if I disable all of
them, I get the same strange behaviour.
Hope you can advise me.. thanks

For some reason, I can't get curses to refresh the screen. Can someone
offer a suggestion to try to debug this?
Here is my python code snippet:
stdscr=curses.initscr()
curses.noecho()
curses.cbreak()
stdscr.keypad(1)
global screen

When I run the following code in a terminal with the encoding set to
UTF-8 I get garbage on the first line, but the correct output on the second.
import curses
s = curses.initscr()
s.addstr('\xc3\x85 U+00C5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE\n')
s.addstr('\xc3\xa5 U+00F5 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH TILDE')
s.refresh()
s.getstr()

So, can someone tell me why the following code is wrong?
When you run it, it will place a . as you arrow key around the screen.
Everything works, until you get to the bottom right corner of the
screen, trying to move off of this square causes addstr to throw and
exception.
Every other spot works. Any idea why?
Thanks:

As soon as my sourceforge.net project gets approved, I am going to
build a ncurses port to win32 bindable to sockets, e.g. allowing
VT100/ANSI terminals and the creation of simple terminal servers using
the ncurses API for the UI. I plan to initially support only a subset
of the ncurses lib, leaving the lib open to expansion/completion.
Please stop me if I am going to reinvent the wheel, and tell me if
there are any libraries of this...

Hello.
The last weeks I've been coding a roguelike (you know, like nethack) in
python using the nCurses library. Some week ago I ran into a problem:
When I made the object for messagebar-output, I found a bug that I
can't figure out (believe me; I've tried everything and asked for help
several times on the IRC-channel).
The updateMsg() and iMsg() takes a list of message-lines as argument
(or process a string to a list), and it'll output...

Hi,
I'm trying to print out text in color. As far as I know, curses is the
only way to do that (or not?). So, what I ultimately want is a curses
terminal that behaves as closely as possible as a normal terminal, i.e.
it breaks lines and scrolls automatically, so that I can implement a
function myprint(color, text) that does what print() does, only in color.
So, my first tests brought up some problems:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
