OS: XENIX System V.2
Application: terminfo
Terminal: UNISYS uvt1224
Problem:
I have an application which has a window which borders the
the last column on the screen. When a character is printed
in the last column of the screen, the text in the line which
follows is displayed 1 character to the left.
Text should appear as follows:
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| this is the first line|
| this is the second |
| |
. .
. .
. .
but the text appears as follows:
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| this is the first line|
| this is the second |
| |
. .
. .
. .
The above example is displayed using the following
algorithm:
move to x,y in window
put "this is the first line"
move to x,y+1 in window
put "this is the second"
refresh windown.
I have tried initializing the terminfo entry for the
specified terminal to indicate that the terminal does
not support "automatic margins" (am is false), but that
did not seem to help. I'm not sure if this is a terminfo
problem or a problem with my terminal description.
Does anyone have any answers?
Thanks;
Guy.
