% I've a really curious problem with mutt. When I compose a new mail
% mutt asks for the recipient (To:) and for the Subject in the last line
% of my screen.
Yep.
% If I enter a value here and mistype something and use the
% delete-button to correct this issue, the cursor is moving funny.
Quite interesting...
%
% lets say: (* indicates current cursor-pos)
%
% Subject: 1234567890123456790*
%
% I press the del-key 7 times and have
%
% Subject: 1234567890123*
%
% Then I press del del-key again and get:
% Subject: 1234567890123 *
At this point I would suspect your termcap and/or term graphics library
([n]curses or slang) and perhaps even your stty settings.
%
% If I press enter now the acceptes Subject is nevertheless Subject:
% 123456789012 which is correct, so only the display is weird. This
% makes me cracy, cause if you mistype an emailadress you cant correct
% it, cause you never know where the cursor is now
FWIW, BTW, you can erase your whole line with ctrl-u and start over if it
gets too horribly mangled. You could also have edit_hdrs turned on and
then have the chance to fix things in your editor. Finally, you can fix
things in the compose menu before sending, too. No, none of these fix
the problem, but they can help you deal with the symptoms :-)
%
% mutt 1.3.23 - dont have any problem like this with any other
% terminalapplication.
%
% thnx,
