window fails to display after wrefresh()

[Joshua Karstendick]

In the following program, I try to demonstrate the use of windows by
creating two windows next to each other. win1 is supposed to be
displayed, then win2.

But if I don't call refresh(), win1 is never displayed. Oddly enough, win2 is, though. I'm calling wrefresh() on both of them.

I'm using version 5.4 of Ncurses. Here's the code:

#include <ncurses.h>


int main(void)
{
    WINDOW *win1, *win2;
    int rows, cols;
    
    
    initscr();
    cbreak();
    noecho();
    
    getmaxyx(stdscr, rows, cols);
    refresh();
    
    win1 = newwin(rows, cols/2, 0, 0);
    win2 = newwin(rows, cols/2, 0, cols/2);
    
    box(win1, 0, 0);
    box(win2, 0, 0);

    mvwprintw(win1,1, 1, "This is win1.");
    mvwprintw(win1, 2, 1, "Hit any key to see win2.");

    mvwprintw(win2, 1, 1, "This is win2.");
    
    wrefresh(win1);
    getch();
    wrefresh(win2);
    getch();
    
    delwin(win1);
    delwin(win2);
    endwin();
    
    return 0;
}
