I am using a GNU emacs 18.59 binary that was working fine under 1.1.5.1, with the TERM environment variable set to "cons25". Under -current, there are some problems that show up mostly in the manipulation of the minibuffer on the last line of the screen. Typically, the first character of the minibuffer is not cleared by subsequent output, and other corruption occurs thee as well. It appears that the current behavior of syscons is not compatible with the current termcap entry. >How-To-Repeat: Try emacs v18.59 on the console. If you want a binary, I can send you one. I haven't had a chance to try to find out what sequence is causing the trouble. >Fix: Setting TERM to "dosansi" is a workaround. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: ache State-Changed-When: Sun Mar 19 22:01:18 PST 1995 State-Changed-Why: Fixed. >Unformatted:
