Re: LP flag

[Oliver]

Cool thanks, I actually figured that out by looking through the ncursers code today but it is good to have it confirmed. 

I am trying to fix this via the ability to turn on and off the the am mode, ie enter_am_mode and exit_am_mode commands (insert mode is a bit tricky for my code); however I am not sure where ncurses expects the cursor to be if if am mode is off and it writes past the end of line, and then am mode is turned back on, should the cursor go down to the new line, or should it go to the position of the last char written?

Also in my terminal there if the bottom right hand corner is written to the cursor wraps back to the top left corner, is there a way to tell ncurses this so it will just work in am mode or would I have to hack that support in myself?

Thank you.

ncurses won't write to the lower-right corner unless it can see how to
prevent the cursor from wrapping (and forcing the display to scroll).
Usually that's done by one of the insert-mode features - depends on
what your actual terminal supports.
