- I noticed this as well when I defined an apple2e terminal type under curses/
- terminfo on my UNIX system. I defined the MouseText characters as the alternate
- character set but found that sometimes they would not appear - depending on the
- way the screen was updated.
-
- If I made the cursor invisible then it worked properly every time.
-
- I think the code that displays the cursor (and then restores the character
- below when it moves) cannot handle MouseText (after all, there is no matching
- inverse MouseText characters).
