System: NetBSD www3.kiess.onl 9.3 NetBSD 9.3 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Aug 4 15:30:37 UTC 2022 mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64

>Description:
  Dear Maintainer,

	a screen fresh caused by the user environment or by hitting the keystroke CTRL+L, to force it manually, will destroy/garble the user interface of mcabber from pkgsrc, running on NetBSD/amd64.

	I suspect it could be happening because of the NetBSD specific port of ncurses on NetBSD from pkgsrc.

	Please could you can have a look to this issue? 

	I am using mcabber inside tmux, running on a ZSH shell, on a NetBSD virtual private machine running at the Internet.

	Because of above bug, I must restart mcabber regularily. I don't see similiar behaviour with console clients like irssi or profanity on NetBSD.

	Thank you very much, for your kind attention.

	Sincerely,

	Adrian Kiess
>How-To-Repeat:
  % mcabber& inside a tmux session and hit the key combination CTRL+L. Best to see, on a transparent terminal. One can set the background color from black to default (transparent background) in mcabber configuration, but the problem persists.
>Fix:
  No fix is known to me. Most probably a bug through the NetBSD specific port of ncurses.
