4.0 works

After terminal exit, background color changes

Warren T. Van Wyck — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 21:30:15 -0000

Terminal background color changes after exiting with an update.

Fix I did.

Update the.c around line 1755:

#if !defined(USE_XCURSES) && !defined(USE_WINGUICURSES) && !defined(USE_SDLCURSES)
   if (!CLEARSCREENx
   && been_interactive)
   {
      /* Add 07/22/25 WVW  */
      system("tput sgr0");
      printf("\n");
   }
#endif

in execute.c I commented out:

/*~~~

    * If there is no second argument, no filename supplied...
*/
if ( target.spare == (-1) )
{
append = FALSE;
filename = tempfilename;
/* WVW  07/03/25
fprintf(stderr, "1:%s\n",filename);
*/
}
else
{

~~~

The spurious artifact no longer appears.

For the record, I'm using AlmaLinux 9.6 and configured THE with
./configure --with-rexx=regina --with-curses=ncurses

The prfget.the macro goes back over 30 years to CMS-Xedit days. See attached.
Still compat XEDIT XEDIT XEDIT for me -- old dog.
