Subject: [9fans] drawterm funny
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 9d03dd30-ead0-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi,

Anyone noticed a funny with Windows drawterm (maybe *unix also,
I don't have those here).

Some draw operators seem to result in no visible image via drawterm
whilst on native plan9 they work fine.

My example of this is abaco [1] doesn't draw any text (unless it is
selected with B3) when envoked via drawterm.

Fixing drawterm is the proper solution, however I am sure there must
be a way to redraw the screen slightly differently that will workaround
this one.

[1] abaco is Federico Benavento's web browser for plan9 based
on earlier work by Aki Nyrhinen. This is a "work in progress" but it
functions surprisingly well already. /n/sources/contrib/fgb/abaco.tgz
