Xterm logging allowed me to find the escape sequences: screen sh -c 'printf "\e[40m\e[K\n\e[K\n\e[K\n"; sleep 999' The 3 lines above the cursor (those generated by "\e[K\n") are affected: no issues before a redisplay, and after a redisplay (C-a C-l), sequences of spaces are generated. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
