Am I the only one having this problem? It's easy enough to reproduce: just make sure your Mac is up to date along with Gnuplot from Macports (I update Macports every week), then scroll back through Gnuplot's history; a simple "yes I am up to date and I see the same problem" or "no I am up to date and I do not see the same problem".
Problem-solving 101 really: isolate the problem with independent confirmation before reporting it (it could well be a Gnuplot bug that only manifests itself on the Mac, for example). -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 9 May 2017 07:42:00 +1000 (EST) From: Dave Horsfall <[email protected]> To: macports-users <[email protected]> Subject: Terminal problems after ports update Every Monday I update Macports, but this time I'm starting to see some weird problems. Firefox (the latest) was misbehaving in a way that took a reboot to fix; can't be more explicit than that but I do recall that it wouldn't restart properly, and when I killed it it wouldn't start from the task bar. Then I find that Gnuplot isn't quite working; whenever I use "^P" to scroll back through the command history a newline is not taken, but a shell escape shows the TTY modes are correct; however, things like "reset" give the message "can't initialize terminal type xterm-256color (error -1)" even though Gnuplot reports it as "aqua". However, things like VI work OK, so it doesn't look like a TTY mode bug. Anyone else having these problems following a recent update? MacBook runs 10.12.4, Firefox is 53.0.2 (64-bit), Gnuplot is 5.0.6. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
