I just installed a new version from port that has the imported patch from git, and all problems seem to be gone! :D So thanks! :)

Finally fixed the bug in WeeChat.
For me the problem is still in ncurses (pair not set by wattr_set), but I added another call in WeeChat to force the restore of color (wcolor_set).

Old code was:


wattr_set (GUI_WINDOW_OBJECTS(window)->win_chat, attrs, pair, NULL);


New code is:


wattr_set (GUI_WINDOW_OBJECTS(window)->win_chat, attrs, pair, NULL);
wcolor_set (GUI_WINDOW_OBJECTS(window)->win_chat, pair, NULL);


The call to wcolor_set should not be needed, but at least it fixes the problem under FreeBSD.

As I said, exactly problem has been reported many time from FreeBSD users, and it was a problem related to libncurses (but I'm unable to say which version was ok or not).

Can you try again with 0.3.7, I'm almost sure you will have same problem with this version.

Thank you.

I'm using ncurses-5.9! 0.3.7 works fine. Only after updating to 0.3.8, the colors went crazy.

Hi,

This is not a problem with WeeChat but with ncurses lib. Are you using version 5.9 of lib? Or can you try with this version?
Or if that does not help, maybe try to compile ncurses yourself.

Other people using FreeBSD reported same problem in past, it's a bug in ncurses which is unable to read attributes in terminal (on new lines in WeeChat I read color/attributes and I set them later).

After I upgraded from 0.3.7 to 0.3.8, some of the colors are fubarred. The screenshots explain it all. I could modify the color via weechat.color.chat_prefix_suffix, but that doesn't fix the issue (it all still looks weird even if set to white)

OS: FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE
