Corrupt display with Mutt

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi,
  I'm finding that running Mutt in a gnome-terminal is causing some rendering
issues; they don't seem to be happening in a konsole.
What seems to be happening is that for particularly bad message titles
(typically spam with non-english character set stuff?) the titles are wrapping
a few characters onto the next line - and a ctrl-l forcing a redraw fixes it; an
stty seems to show the terminal size matching the window size.

Sounds similar to bug #12833. I had similar problems, but they seem to be fixed
in Ubuntu 5.04. Are you running 4.10 or 5.04?

I'm running 5.04 - clean install (I'm a convert from sid).

Dave,

Do you still have this issue with the latest Dapper Packages? Could you please attach a screenshot if so?
I use Mutt and gnome-terminal and am yet to see any problem.
If this problem has been resolved for you, please let us know so this bug can be closed.

Thanks in advance.

I've just spent the day using mutt on gnome-terminal for the first time since I reported this, and it appears fine now - I guess it got fixed somewhere in the last year or so.
It also seems to stand up to a cat /bin/ls in a terminal window with out any droppings being left behind.

For the record, my current terminal setup is 'use system terminal font'.

Thanks; please close the bug.

Dave
