>Description:

While using window(1) in an xterm, after exiting vi(1), the last column will
remain blank for the rest of the session. The characters are virtually there,
but invisible.

Example:

blahblahblah in a 5-chars wide xterm would give:

blah 
lahb 
ah

Notice how the second b and the third l disappeared although there is room for
them.

 o I tried it with vi, but I suppose any program using curses(3) will show this
behaviour.
 o -current suffers from this too.

>How-To-Repeat:

Within an xterm:

% vi
:q
% ls -l | tr '\n' " "
# Look at the output

>Fix:
 Unknown.

Possible culprits from most to least likely:
 o libcurses
 o window itself (although window(1) works well on a wscons terminal)
 o termcap entry for xterm
 o xterm itself
