Hi bms!

Thanks for your reply. I am running this on a GNU/Linux box. Unfortunately, your suggestion does not improve the result:

---{/tmp/curses_ui_test}---
...
$text_editor->focus;
$cui->mainloop;

print STDOUT "outside of mainloop!\n";
---{/tmp/curses_ui_test}---

mzagrabe@achilles:/tmp$ ./curses_ui_test 
mzagrabe@achilles:/tmp$
[download]

I would expect to see something between the two prompts above.

Any other ideas? :)

Thanks!
