Subject: w3m: ugly when rolling mouse wheel back and forth

Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 00:14:00 +0800

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-5.1
Severity: minor

Scrolling down with the mouse wheel is OK, but when one scrolls back
up we see part of the uxterm.  Roll the wheel back and forth a few
times and the screen becomes a mess and needs a ^L to refresh.

hmm - if w3m were using ncurses (other than as a source of termcap),
that would still apply to ncurses, since mouse wheel isn't supported
in the normal build of ncurses (there's a configure option from ncurses
5.5 to do this).

Odd that (given that w3m hacks up the ncurses interface
by supplying some of the same function names) it has a similar bug.
