ncurses issue with xterm in code blocks

[tjareson]

Hello,

I'm currently developing a console application using ncurses. For that I 
use codeblocks and start the app in xterm from the codeblocks IDE, while 
developing it.
The application is using windows, forms, etc. from ncurses, as well as 
wide character support.

When developing I have more or less regularly the following strange effect:
Sometimes not everything which should be actually visible becomes 
visible: e.g. certain fields in forms are missing or a box is not 
completly closed, after doing a refresh() in the application.

Whenever I click then with the mouse in one corner of the xterm-window 
as if I would like to resize it (but not changing the size) all the 
elements are getting displayed.

Right now I'm not sure where to search exactly to solve this problem. If 
it is probably an xterm issue, a terminfo-database issue, an ncurses 
issue or something else...

Does anyone has a hint for me? Or observed something similar? I tried 
already to work around it in my  source code with a combination of 
touchwin and refresh afterwards to really force an update of the whole 
screen, but that didn't avoid this screen update error coming up every 
now and then.

I do not see this effect if I'm using the application e.g. in 
gnome-terminal, but debugging in codeblocks only works when running the 
application in xterm.

My current setup is:
Ubuntu 12.04
codeblocks 10.05
ncurses 5.9

The xterm gets started from codeblocks with:
xterm -cr green -bc -fa "monotype.com" -fs 12 -geometry 80x25+1680+0 -T 
$TITLE -e
