Hi Vitaliy,

On 2024-03-14 07:19:32, you wrote to me:

That was the one that was different for me.

I also had to Disable remote-controled terminal resizing, otherwise my
terminal would resize to 80 chars wide after closing golded.

It fixed the keyboard problems. But not how golded looks. The line drawing
characters are still the 'qqqqqq' kind.
It doesn't matter if I use luit or not.

What did help, was enabling in Window/Tranlation: Enable VT100 line drawing
even in UTF-8 mode
So now I can use the 'putty-256color' terminal type. :-)


Bye, Wilfred.
