Screen sometimes doesn't refresh properly (e.g. when using ssh+yast)

[sam-hobbs]

I have been experiencing a strange issue where the screen in fingerterm doesn't refresh properly in some text-based apps.

The most reliable way to reproduce this bug is to log in to an external openSUSE box with SSH and run yast. When moving through the menu, parts of the screen that have new text on are updated but places where there used to be text that should now be blank still have the old text displayed.

I have also had issues editing text in nano, although it's not so easy to reproduce there. I know of at least one other user who has had the same problem.

Is this a bug in fingerterm, or a curses library, or something else?

I think this is a duplicate of #34 (ANSI not properly supported), specifically the nano part sounds familiar to the behaviour without those fixes.
