Subject: ncurses-base: broken sgr entry in xterm-xfree86 (and xterm etc.)
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 21:51:05 -0800
Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.2-1
Severity: normal
The sgr entry in the terminfo data for xterm-xfree86 (on which the other
xterm* terminal types are based) begins:
sgr=\E[0%?%p6%|%t;1...
The %| pops two things off the stack and ORs them, but at that point
there's only one thing on the stack (put there by the %p6).
The %| should be removed.
In case you're wondering how this bug arose, sgr used to begin:
sgr=\E[0%?%p1%p6%|%t;1...
Back then, the %| was ORing the items pushed by %p1 and %p6. This
caused "standout" to be bold (in addition to being inverse), which
was inconsistent with smso=\E[7m, which says that standout is simply
inverse. So whoever removed the %p1 had the right idea, but forgot to
remove the %| as well.

looks like a copying error (on my part, most likely).
thanks - will check/see if there are other related cases.
