Content display issues

[vnd]

I'm experiencing infrequent but regular issues:

• text output jumps to the top of the screen, and until enough text is received from server old and new text is mixed. Workaround: hit enter key 20 times or so.
• cursor permanently jumping to the top of the screen, so effective screen height becomes 2-3 lines of text. Only exiting pycat and resetting terminal helps.
• some random bytes inserted in between input command, for example: 'c slow' becomes 'c slo1;2cw'

Where should I look if I want to fix this? Pycat itself or some of underlying libraries?

I'd like to blame rlwrap for this. I'd like to get rid of it somehow, but then again, I don't want to mess around with ncurses myself. Perhaps run tintin++ as a frontend to pycat?

rlwrap it is, without it all the issues are gone.

Did you experience similar problems in CofeeMUD? Just wondering if it's output-specific.

I did. Perhaps we can swap out rlwap with tintin++? Or better yet, keep the output of MUD separate from your rlwrapped input with tmux?

tmux works perfectly, launched pycat as described here:

overall I love how hacky the whole thing is :)

@vnd Changed pycat to work purely as a TCP proxy. Use a normal sane MUD client for frontend (tintin++ or a GUI or something)
