Re: Extra spaces

Hi,

An irritating problem I have when cutting text from Mutt is that Mutt
seems to add trailing spaces from the last character to the window
border. Is this due to ncurses?

Any of: ncurses, slang, screen and the particular terminal emulator.


Is it possible to do something about this?

(Running Debian, xterm and Mutt.)

With xterm at least you can set the highlightSelection resource which
shows what xterm's selected.  For the applications running in xterm,
it depends on the terminal setting (xterm-color is a particularly bad
choice), and how closely the application follows it.  screen can be
told to use the bce feature which is related to this.
