Description Matthew Horan 2017-11-04 22:31:09 UTC
Since updating ncurses to 6.0.0s20171007 from 6.0_3, weechat configured with weechat.look.eat_newline_glitch no longer works.

weechat.look.eat_newline_glitch is used to allow a terminal to detect long (longer than terminal width) URLs and create hyperlinks. Prior to ncurses 6.0.0s20171007, this functionality worked fine. When upgrading to 6.0_3, it no longer works. Downgrading to 6.0_3 resolves the issue.

I'm not sure if this is a FreeBSD/ncurses 6.0.0s20171007 specific issue, or whether it affects other systems. However, a Linux machine running 6.0+20161126 works just fine.

Is this still an issue?

Yes, this is still an issue with ncurses-6.1.20180728. Downgrading to ncurses-6.0_3 brings back the desired behavior.

This has never been in tree as far as I can tell and it's not in now either so we can safely close this.

It was committed in r475966
Comment 7 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-03-20 20:26:45 UTC
Ahh, it's an option within weechat not ports.
Sorry for the noise

Maintainer reset.
