#1953 closed patch (Fixed)

fix console client flicker on every update

Reported by: terror_macbeth_I Owned by: Cas
Priority: minor Milestone: 2.0.0
Component: Console UI Version: 1.3.3
Keywords: console curses Cc: nick

Description

The curses call to stdscr.clear() redraws the whole window on every update which causes screen flickering. By replacing the call with one to stdscr.erase() the updates are smooth.

I did not notice a negative impact but did not grasp the whole difference between clear vs. erase either.

  • Milestone changed from Future to 1.3.4
  • Owner set to Cas
  • Status changed from new to accepted
  • Version changed from git master to 1.3.3

I assume this is for 1.3-stable as there is no screen.py in git master.

Yes, you are right. Sorry for the confusion.

Fixed in 1.3-stable: 0f962aed

I wonder if this would make a difference to the new console in git master as I noticed the extensive use of stdscr.clear there.

Fixing it this way was not effective in master, but I fixed it in my branch which is now merged into master.
