    (Note, if TERM is syncterm, the termcap has recently been updated and fixed, so it should be verified that the installed termcap/terminfo matches the current entry, not a historical one)

    Another thing to check is that curses has the correct number of rows and columns.

    Testing with a broad selection of terminals (XFCE4 Terminal, kitty, ghostty, xterm, SyncTERM) on FreeBSD does not reproduce the issue, which suggests that Windows Terminal does not correctly match the behaviour described in the xterm-256color entry. Newer Curses come with an ms-terminal entry that may match better, but I'm not familiar with it, and Windows Terminal still seems to be a moving target.

    Tested with alacritty and uxterm, still unable to reproduce.
