en_US installation via HTTP onto test system initiated by Grub loading
installation kernel & initrd with 'tasks="standard"' roughly 30 hours
ago, then mc, sddm and selected KDE/KDF packages added via apt*.
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)"
VERSION="15.04 (Vivid Vervet)"
Linux gx62b 3.19.0-10-generic #10-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 23 16:25:20 UTC 2015
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
/proc/cmdline tail:
root=/dev/sda22 ro ipv6.disable=1 noresume splash=0 vga=791 video=1440x900@60
fbset output:
mode "1440x900"
geometry 1440 900 1440 900 32
timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

endmode
To reproduce:
1-start mc 3:4.8.13-3 on any of tty1-6 without having run unicode_start since
booting
Actual behavior:
1-boxdraw characters are drawn with wrong characters
2-normal operation output is corrupted by random characters drawn in various
places
3-various screen drawing areas do not get refreshed after normal activity
Expected behavior:
1-box characters drawn where and as they belong
2-random characters do not appear in diverse places
3-screen areas refreshed after normal operations
Notes:
1-Cmdline is as it is because it's what is required to get boot messages and
tty output to display in optimal video mode with 16:10 (41cm x 26cm) display
that reports incorrect native mode. 1440x900 is its only supported mode with a
matching aspect ratio.
