Hi, > I believe this issue has come up before with a similar patch but
well i've submitted such a patch more than two years ago. Unfortunatelly it got never applied, so that I have to patch my Qemu on every update... > someone checked their ncurses and they didn't see the same issue. > I just checked and here mvwaddchnstr() does not expect a null-terminated > string either, but it skips the \0 characters. This is not conforming to the Single UNIX Specification, which states that the string is shown "until a null chtype is encountered". See for example: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xcurses/addchstr.html > So probably we should > replace them with spaces or something else, I wouldn't like to > replace a single library call with 80 calls, it's better to go through > the string and replace them, maybe in console_write_ch or somewhere > else. That would be a one-liner. Should I send such a patch? Thanks, Bernhard
