Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] tty/vt: Prevent 8th bit corruption with soft cursor
Date: Mon,  1 Sep 2025 07:26:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250901052636.8981-3-soci@c64.rulez.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250901052636.8981-1-soci@c64.rulez.org>

The attributes of the soft cursor are configurable and one would rightly
expect that only the attributes are to be affected. But that's not
guaranteed for a font with 512 glyphs as the 8th bit is in the attribute
byte. This patch makes sure that really only the attribute bits are
changed by the cursor and not the glyph's appearance.
