Public bug reported:
I'm running my ncursesw application, displaying a black background. When
the screen or a region scrolls up by one line, empty areas of the screen
in the newly visible line show the default white background of gnome-
terminal.
If I remove the bce capability from the Terminfo for that terminal type, the
problem goes away. This workaround involves:
"infocmp xterm-256color > xt.ti" to get the Terminfo data in text format.
Editing xt.ti and removing "bce, " on the 3rd line
"tic xt.ti" to compile this text to Terminfo again. Without sudo that ends up
in ~/.terminfo, overriding the system's entry, and with sudo it would overwrite
the system's Terminfo entry for that terminal type.
Another workaround would be to use a different terminal type without
bce, like TERM=screen, but removing bce is better because that leaves
other capabilities intact.
