Package: dialog Version: 1.2-20121230-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, after ncurses packages upgraded to version 5.9+20130504-1 my shell script with dialogs stopped working. After some investigation I found, that dialog sends terminal control sequence for maybe clearing terminal to stdout. Consider:
zito@bobek:~$ dialog --stdout --menu 'my menu' 15 60 0 first "1st menu item" second "2nd menu item" >/tmp/x zito@bobek:~$ xxd /tmp/x 0000000: 1b5b 324a 1b5b 3f34 376c 1b38 1b5b 481b .[2J.[?47l.8.[H. 0000010: 5b32 4a66 6972 7374 [2Jfirst Normal behaviour is back when ncurses packages downgraded to 5.9-10 version. Despite this fact I reported this problem against dialog, I suspect dialog maybe uses something from ncurses incorrectly and this problem occurred now with some change in ncurses. And maybe I'm wrong :).
