>Description:
When I first start finch with VT100 terminal emulation, I am unable to select a protocol on the "New Account" prompt This also happens with screen and xterm-color terminal emulation.  This also happens with xterm-color and screen terminal emulations.  A workaround is to use xterm terminal emulation.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start Finch with a fresh configuration using VT100 terminal emulation.  On the "New Account" prompt, press Down on the protocol drop-down box.  The drop-down box won't appear after doing so.

State-Changed-By: dholland@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Sat, 14 May 2022 22:40:04 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
This is from many finch versions ago and it's unlikely to still be current.
(and it was likely as not a curses problem of some kind, and 2009 was a long
time ago in curses too.)

I vaguely recall having seen something like this elsewhere that got fixed,
too, but I can't find it now.

Sorry nobody ever responded to this.

If it's still broken with current versions, let us know.
