            Bug ID: 242613
           Summary: cdialog-1.3-20180621 displays ugly black bars
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

Prior to 1.3-20180621 cdialog would fill unused space at the end of the
line with the background color.  However, starting with 1.3-20180621
it doesn't. Instead, it seems to fill with whatever the terminal's
background color was prior to starting dialog.

Steps to reproduce on FreeBSD current:
cat /etc/rc.conf | cdialog --programbox 23 76

With older versions of dialog the box's background is a consistent
color.  With 1.3-20180621, the trailing unused part of each
line is filled with (on my terminal at least) black.

Details here

The problem is evident in FreeBSD's ports tree's version.

The latest upstream version of dialog 1.3.20191210 fixes this problem for me.

Can someone update the version of devel/cdialog port?
