Package: libncurses4
Version: 4.2-5
I'm ssh'd to a Debian machine from a Solaris box, and a few days ago
the bold/underlining somehow broke. For instance, in less, reversed
text doesn't revert back to normal on the other side of the emphasized
characters. Even after I quit from less the terminal is reverse text.
This happens with underlining too. I generally have to ls --color to
force it back to normal.
I'm not sure how ncurses determines what the terminal is or its
capabilities, but it's vanilla xterm on Solaris, with $TERM being
"xterm".
