I believe this bug first appeared after the update of some libraries done in https://github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop/pull/221/files#diff-33ef32bf6c23acb95f5902d7097b7a1d5128ca061167ec0716715b0b9eeaa5f6

I have this issue in v4.2.0.

My environment:

Terminals: Konsole, Kitty
OS: Fedora 38 KDE Spin
Install method: Homebrew

There was no release since the fix was merged, so v4.2.0 is still affected. Currently the only way to get the fixed version is to build the program manually.

[KBeDevel]

@gardockt Yes, local build using latest commit (3e50a67) seems to work perfect.

[xxxserxxx]

Yeah, I will probably do a minor version bump release for this shortly.
