Hi, I built git HEAD on 64 bit LinuxMint with ncurses. When I do Alt-H and then select Keyboard Summary, the display is all messed up. My terminal is what comes default with LinuxMint - MATE Terminal set at 80x24. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    At a guess the terminal-identifier "VT/XTERM Device Attribute" is not recognised, defaulted to a generic xterm. Run with logging enabled -d and inspect/forward the reported terminal details; should be visible within the first few hundred lines of the log.
    The macro tty/xterm.cr may need to be enchanced

    Update:
    I forgot how little information can be displayed on a 80x24 terminal.

    Shall need to re-test the clipping logic for sub-windows plus the older tty compat logic which kick's-in with widths <= 80.

    Changing to 81x24 (or greater) should work-around the issue.
