It's been this way for a long time.  I've worked around it by checking for the flag, saving it, and then adding it back after the call.

    The same thing happens in ncurses.  As you can see in the
discussion at the above link,  we're unclear if this is the
specified behavior,  or if it's a for-real bug.  It is
certainly undesirable behavior,  but I don't want to "fix"
it in PDCursesMod if it's supposed to do that.

    I've posted a minimal example showing the bug at

    Any opinion?
