Good day, I have been examining a problem with printing of characters 0x80-0xFF for a few days now, in * /perl-Curses-1.36-9.fc30.x86_64/ * /perl-Curses-1.36-11.fc31.x86_64/ I tried to ask on Stack Overflow, but that's becoming nonproductive at this point. Maybe you can take a look, there is test code. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60971499/are-there-one-or-two-solid-bugs-in-the-curses-shim-for-perl With best regards, -- David // //

It looks like stackoverflow contains the solution now.

Do you mean replacing Curses printw() with: no warnings qw( redefine ); sub printw { addstring(sprintf shift, @_) } That only shows there is a bug in Curses. It reads now: sub printw { addstr(sprintf shift, @_) }

Thanks for pointing that out. I was unware 'printw' was a Curses function; all I saw was suspicion of 'getchar' followed by exoneration of 'getchar'. I will change 'addstr' to 'addstring'. -- Bryan Henderson San Jose, California
