It does this for me in what almost seems to be "random lines"
(!!!), while Slang does it all the time. I mentioned earlier,
providing GIF images might help, as I can show the results
of both ncurses & slang via these images.

I do not use Linux. Linux's mix termcap+terminfo database
results in much confusion. I use FreeBSD 3.2-CURRENT which is
termcap-only (ncurses 1.8.6/ache).
I also tried using FreeBSD with the ncurses 4.2 (terminfo-based)
distribution, which resulted in the same results. I made sure
it was using 4.2 via 'mutt -v'.
