Hello,

I found the error causing the issue.

Somehow subwin returned a null value, as coordinates were outside the main window.
For some reason this didn't happen in ncurses versions before 6.2, as this failure in my source code never cause a problem until ncurses 6.2.

I've corrected that and now it works.

Were there more rigid checks implemented related to parameters of subwin?

Anyways, it is solved. :-)

Hi Stian,

I've tried export TERM=gnome-256color, but the behavior is exactly the same.

Also if I use xterm instead of the gnome terminal I have the same issues.

The curses.h in /usr/include shows version 6.2, so this seem to match as well the installed libraries.

Hi Tjareson

Have you tried setting TERM to gnome-terminal instead of xterm?

Have you tested with other terminals?

echo $TERM shows:

Other applications like htop, mc etc. are running without any issues.

It looks like as it doesn't recognized the right terminal type or
something like this. But then, why are apps like vi working w/o any
issues in the same terminal?
