Moving mouse causes lots of characters to flood terminal

[woverton]

This must be a duplicate but I cant find anything related...

When I copy the blessed example:

this.screen = blessed.screen({
        fastCSR: true
    })

    this.screen.title = 'my window title';

    // Create a box perfectly centered horizontally and vertically.
    var box = blessed.box({
        top: 'center',
        left: 'center',
        width: '50%',
        height: '50%',
        content: 'Hello {bold}world{/bold}!',
        tags: true,
        border: {
            type: 'line'
        },
        style: {
            fg: 'white',
            bg: 'magenta',
            border: {
                fg: '#f0f0f0'
            },
            hover: {
                bg: 'green'
            }
        }
    });

I get a black screen which when I move my mouse over fills up with this

I'm using Ubuntu:

$ cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="15.10 (Wily Werewolf)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 15.10"
VERSION_ID="15.10"

$ node --version
v5.4.1

I have tried with Bash & Zsh using two terminals and nothing helps.

Thanks for your help!

@woverton can you run the other examples as well? Because if you can't or you get similar results maybe your terminal emulator doesn't support ANSI escapes (the things that give you colour on terminals).

[woverton]

My terminal certainly supports colours and other formatting characters. I am now using Ubuntu 16.04 and terminator and no longer get these issues.

Nothing has changed except Ubuntu and Node version.

Thanks anyway!

I have the exact same issue on Arch Linux. I've tried several terminals (xterm, termite, terminator) and all are having this issue.
