From 64fab74bd7288bfa67cd7727452febdaafed4270 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Serhiy Storchaka Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 14:32:02 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] gh-151693: Make the curses tests portable to other curses implementations (GH-151729) Make the curses tests portable to other curses implementations Guard the chgat() check (chgat() needs wchgat()) and stop assuming a subpad shares the parent pad's cells (implementation-defined in X/Open).
