finch and ugly borders

[Markand]

Hi,

I was used to use finch in tmux inside urxvt. It always worked well on Linux and NetBSD. But I don't know why there is a strange border there :

It's the same config. Could be a ncurses/curses problem ?

I'm running 8.0-STABLE.

King regards,
David.

At first look it appears to be terminal problem(termcap/terminfo), does it happens with xterm too?

 

[Markand]

Yes, every terms.

EDIT: the termcap/terminfo had change from 8.0-RELEASE to -STABLE ?

Did anyone ever figure out the cause of this? I just updated a bunch of ports, and now I'm magically having the same problem with finch as was reported here over 2 years ago... I'm running 8.2-RELEASE, for what it matters.

solution: uninstall the ncurses port

Uninstalling the ncurses port fixed it for me. It also fixed hanging / segfaults I was getting when trying to resize. The system ncurses library is fine, but the ports one is silently broken, I guess. How irritating.
