--- Comment #1 from Stefan Hundhammer ---
Sorry for the delay; we had a lot of issues in our incoming queue lately.
Is this a ppc-only problem? I guess if we had this problem in general, we would
have seen a lot of similar bugs, but we didn't.
In this build
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/365272
the problem seems to be the test setup: iSCSI devices expected, but not
available AFAICs; but that is a problem that is unrelated to this. It never
even gets to the workflow step where this "role screen broken" problem occurs.
Here
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/385514#step/logpackages/2
I can see the problem, but it's a very weird one: One blank is missing at the
start of the upper frame of that subwindow. I wouldn't even know how to get
this programmatically; it must be broken on a deeper level, such as libncurses
(unlikely IMHO) or the terminal emulation used here. Or some other program is
spitting output to this terminal, thus disturbing the ncurses output.
In this "always latest" test case
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?flavor=DVD&version=Tumbleweed&machine=ppc64&distri=opensuse&test=textmode&arch=ppc64
the problem is still there, but it's much too regular and predictable to be
another program doing uncoordinated output on the same terminal; it's always
that first blank just before the top left corner of that frame.
My personal guess is that it's a problem of the terminal emulation or (like in
similar issues on aarch64) a problem in the virtualization drivers.
