Not "unique" in any way... basically, v3.20 thought something worth
pausing for was written after the last CUP sequence and v3.21 knows
that is not true.
There's really two contributing factors here:
1. The line counter is reset on ANSI animation where "ANSI
animation" is defined as "something that moves to a different line".
2. The line counter does not increment from zero for blank lines
where "blank line" was very complicated in v3.20 and is simpler, but
still not documented in v3.21.
The basic difference is that how the cursor is moved around used to
result in column being incorrect, but now column is correct, so the
result is detected as a blank lines which, at the top of a new
screen, do not increment the line counter.
Would this have anything to do with the fact that sometime recently (within the past month or two, probably), after scanning for new messages and files, it used to display things like:
Someone sent you EchoMail on Fidonet TUXPOWER
Someone sent you EchoMail on Fidonet TUXPOWER
Another sent you Netmail ...
<PAUSE>
.. and now it doesn't pause after these are displayed? Now instead, they flash by on the screen, and then the main menu is displayed.
I understand that a pause can be added wherever you want, but I figured I'd mention it as there may be some other occurrences where this is happening when it didn't previously.
Regards,
Nick
