Description Mikhail T. 2004-09-01 17:30:38 UTC
	For me the problem manifests itself, when I run top(1). There are
	some users here with long user names, which pushes COMMAND column in
	top's output to the very right -- 'D' is in the 80th position.

	This works fine in xterm, but on the consoles (cons25, cons30, etc.)
	the screen gets garbled -- an empty line is inserted between the
	column titles and the listing of processes.

	I don't think, the problem is top-specific. Either there is something
	about the cons* terminal types or the sc-console.

	Since manuall setting TERM to xterm on a console does not help, it
	is, probably, sc(4).

How-To-Repeat: 
	Create a user with the longest name possible. Run top on the text
	console.

Dear submitter, 

Does this still occur in latest release, say 6.2-RELEASE  
or in HEAD?

Put back into pool. There are detailed explanations on 
freebsd-bugs@ mailing by ncurses author. As he stated,  
ncurses can not fix this problem since it depends on 
many other program. However, I agree with mi@ that 
this is indeed a problem.
