Re: [Lynx-dev] forcing a screen refresh

Quoth Mr David Woolley: 'This is likely to be because you are
using the wrong terminal type in your TERMCAP setting.'
Mr Dickey already suggested this.  I already checked.  It is
not the case.

'NB this is an OS issue, not a Lynx one.'
I've been using Linux for 21 years, building my own kernels
for 20, using lynx all the time.  I haven't had the problem until now.
I didn't blame lynx; I asked a question about how to modify it.

I still get left-over characters in lynx.  I discovered

This is likely to be because you are using the wrong terminal type in 
your TERMCAP setting.


If all else fails you could edit the termcap/terminfo definition to 
limit the terminal capabilities to effectively force a rewrite, but note 
that, if you succeeded, it would probably rewrite for every character 
entered into a form field.


It would be better simply to use a terminal description that matches 
your terminal emulation.


NB this is an OS issue, not a Lynx one.
