Hmmm... please post the test code you're using for this? Have you tried
it with PDCursesMod? (Its panel library is a near-total rewrite, but its
move_panel() does use mvwin() internally.)
yes... a test-program is needed to see how it compares with the
various implementations :-)
It occurs to me to wonder : is the panel library warranteed to work
if you feed it a pad (or subpad or sub-window) instead of a plain old
window? I've never tried it.
Is there a use case for calling new_panel( ) with a pad?

move_panel internally uses mvwin, which doesn't work with pads (pdcurses
seems to be affected by this as well). Maybe pnoutrefresh could be used
internally for that specific case or some kind of an alternative new
mvpad function?
(It just happened that I was again looking deep into how panels work
internally and just happened to stumble upon this issue.)
