Problems with "the Hessling editor" (THE)

[George R Goffe]

Hi,

For some time now I have seen a problem with "the".

It seems to happen with earlier versions of "the" and ncurses.

The test setup:

make 2 tabs in a konsole widget. This problem DOES NOT APPEAR in xterms.
enter the <any file name> in a konsole tab.
switch to another tab or anywhere else
switch back
the has exited (after entering NO commands). the exits unless the file under edit has
been
     changed. In this case, the last line in the file is the "current" line.


this problem seems to be exhibited regardless of "the" version and/or
"ncurses" version.

The problem appears as if the quit command and others has been entered. No such command
has been entered though.

Have you seen anything like this? Could it be a konsole config issue?

Best regards,

George...

Never heard of something called THE and it doesn't seem to be in the
standard repos (I looked for 'the', 'THE' and 'hessing' with no
results). What is this?

It's a crazy old editor[1]
"Based on the IBM mainframe editor XEDIT, and includes many features of
Kedit."
It's code hasn't been touched in 10 years [2]

Thanks. I'll ignore it then.
