2.8.6dev.12 runs okay on OSX 10.3.9 - I compiled with XTools 1.5 gcc.
I'm getting screen misbehavior on Solaris:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:377$ uname -a
SunOS sanitas 5.8 Generic_108528-22 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:378$ ./lynx -version
Lynx Version 2.8.6dev.12 (02 Jun 2005)
Built on solaris2.8 Jun 2 2005 23:28:15
Go to:
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/
do repeated searches for "r5", and watch the screen misbehave.
I see the problem - had not encountered this. What's happening is that
when investigating DK's comments that some of the options-form was not
wrapped, I realized that the LYhighlight() function was "supposed to"
handle this case. So I modified it and the lower-level function that
writes strings to allow it to write a wrapped string. That seemed fine,
but it uncovered an off-by-one error in the middle of GridText.c (hard to
debug). That's lesser error that I thought I could unravel in dev.13.
Reading the calls on LYwaddnstr(), I didn't _see_ any except for
LYhighlight() that were likely to write long strings.
However, look at the top of the screen - it appears that the same code is
used to write the title string (rather than truncating things). Changing
lynx to work with a wrapped title is probably not the way to go. The
wrapped line shifts everything down by one line for the unhighlighted
display, but LYhighlight() - which uses a different calculation - is
putting the highlighting where it "should" be.
That's relatively simple to fix though, since the title comes from one
point.
