    Thank you so much for linking to that--it solved the problem for me, too.

    (for the record: install ncurses-devel, then recompile tf. If ncurses-devel is not available, tf defaults to 'hard-coded (and broken) vt100 support', which will result in visual mode being unusable.)

    Current version for Ubuntu is libncurses5-devel.

    Thank you soooo much for this, I thought I was going mad!
    Would be better if the compile fails without ncurses, unless you force vt100 with a flag :)
