getch acts weirdly (cursor keeps moving, like it's running inside a loop)

Same problem here. After a call to getch the cursor starts to constantly move down line by line.

Here is a program to reproduce the behaviour:

require "ncursesw"

Ncurses.initscr
Ncurses.addstr("Cursor starts to move down!")
Ncurses.getch # Wait for a keypress to quit
Ncurses.endwin

System:

adding Ncurses.cbreak after Ncurses.initscr

will stop this from happening
