[opensuse] [ncurses] yast2 frames not in xterm but OK in screen
Hi! After upgrading to 10.3 I have noticed a small nuisance when connecting to my server and was wondering if you have any clues on the issue? An SSH connection using PUTTY. When I run MC it displays frames correctly but if I run yast2 I get letters instead of frames (lines). However if I start screen and then run yast2 the lines are shown correctly.

Hi Marcin, Have looked into: http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander/Tips (I don't use Putty so I don't know what settings should be applied for YaST.) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Rajko! Thanks, but I am very well aware of these options. MC as I've mentioned works OK. Also YAST2 frames are all OK when I start it via screen. This makes me suspect this is not a problem of putty but rather I suspect this being specific to yast2 use of ncurses. I suspect there is something with the way borders are rendered via ncurses onto the screen depending on the terminal (the TERM env). Just I have never coded using ncurses so don't really know where to look. I was wandering if anyone else has similar problems?
