Update: ef195e8 always disables BCE except for "real xterm".

Summary:

  • Nvim 0.2.0 did not implement BCE.
  • Nvim 0.2.1 enabled BCE aggressively.
  • Nvim 0.2.3+ (after this PR) disables BCE (like 0.2.0) in all cases except when the $XTERM_VERSION env var is defined.

ref #4210 #4421 #7035 #7337 #7381 #7425 #7618

133ae5e implemented BCE (background color erase).  That's fine if
the system terminfo claims to support it; but our built-in fallback
should not assume it.

Per kovidgoyal/kitty#160 (comment)
terminal support for BCE seems to be (1) optional and (2) inconsistent.
So the built-in terminfos should disable it by default.

133ae5e implemented BCE (background color erase).  It has caused
a lot of trouble and gained almost nothing.

Oh my, that comment on Kitty #160 is quite the interesting read. This looks like a good solution; I'm going to apply the patch and see how it works out on Windows.

My workaround in the meantime has been autocmd colorscheme * :highlight Normal ctermbg=0 (must be set prior to colo in init.vim) which forces the background color of the scheme to the same background color as the terminal.

133ae5e implemented BCE (background color erase). But we can't
trust terminfo, so it is safer disable BCE if we are not certain.

This check was removed in 133ae5e without explanation.

@Vxid re kovidgoyal/kitty#160 : could you try latest Nvim master, (which includes #7640 ) and say what :echo &term reports?

@justinmk Thanks for the followup. I had disabled relativenumber for the past week given the bug but I just gave it another try and it seems to work fine now (no lines disappearing).

Nvim from master echoes kitty-xterm while the arch binary echoes nvim.

Reverts 0b93bab. This change was
counter-productive to the other changes which intended to reduce the
role of BCE.

@justinmk these latest changes also fix the scrolling issues I've been having under conhost/W10 as well. I'll test further and comment on the relevant issue, though.

Remove this vestigial hack from neovim#7624.

Since 5a0d028 we blacklist BCE more surgically. And
patch_terminfo_bugs() is the more appropriate place for that.
