Hey Wilfred!

I get the same when starting gedlnx without tmux, without the tmux green status
bar at the bottom.

As far as I am personally concerned it really doesn't matter since native utf-8
editting has worked for ages now without having to resort to putting up with
any binary message formats.  Text has always been the best option and it is no
wonder that text messaging with utf-8 characters in linux is the way to go even
with fidonet.  The real problem is with the typical ftn formats (eg Squish and
Jam) and the editors relying on those formats.  Get rid of those and everything
works fine ... with or without tmux.

I think Sean has the right idea for tmux and with vi-like bindings on the
commandline between two terminals - one on the host, the other connected on the
remote via ssh - all sorts of extremely handy things are possible, even text
messaging without the need for ftn abandonware with all it's obsolete and/or
corrupted so-called standards.  Having said that, I don't mind testing out
things like golded if it potentially can make a difference.  As we speak the
misalignment of the cursor is the most annoying bug.

Life is good,
Maurice
