Not all term escape sequences are handled correctly #32

Thank you for a great package. Probably it is not the package relevant, but I hope you might be able to help. When I override TERM=dumb with TERM=xterm-256color I have this issue. Seems like some escape sequences are not handle correctly. Any ideas, thank you?

Commands that move the cursor are not implemented and they're somewhat common these days (e.g. Ubuntu apt-get). I need to provide a "terminal capabilities" file that will describe exactly what terminal commands xterm-color supports, rather than faking xterm-256color without supporting most of its capabilities. It's been on my list for a while, will happen sooner rather than later.

In the meantime, you can try setting TERM to eterm / eterm-color / ansi and see if that fixes your problem.
