hi thomas,

however, at first launch, i still get the dots-n-lines blinkig on a blue
screen ...

good news is that it goes away after linking to a site -- i.e., back to my
shell defaults.

odd - it sounds something like a problem with the background coloring
that I used to fixup the color style code.  A sign-extension problem
could do that, e.g., by making some cells appear to have video attributes
set that they shouldn't have.

The only visual glitches I've seen have been the less obvious ones (that
I'm still working on - dev.12 fixes some but not all).  For example,
using ncurses 5.2 (FreeBSD), there's a case where link highlights are
written one cell to the right.  It works fine with ncurses 5.4.  Testing
on FreeBSD I found a couple of ncurses bugs (since 5.4) that'll be in
tomorrow's fixes.  But no blinking...


hmmm ....

just fyi, my config is:

   ./configure \
   --prefix=/usr/local \
   --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl \
   --with-zlib \
   --with-screen=ncursesw --with-curses-dir=/usr/local/ncurses \
   --enable-color-style \
   --enable-default-colors \
   --enable-change-exec \
   --enable-cgi-links \
   --enable-exec-links \
   --enable-exec-scripts \
   --disable-nls \
   --enable-ipv6
