As with your other post, we need to check the specification and see what
is supposed to happen.  In general we will follow the specification for
curses unless that is unclear/undefined at which point we will adopt
ncurses behaviour (yes, there are exceptions to this - when there is
good reason).

The specification I am referring to is here:
