[PATCH 10/60] ui/console-vc: fix off-by-one in CSI J 2 (clear entire screen)
Posted by Marc-André Lureau 2 weeks, 6 days ago
The loop condition used `y <= s->height` instead of `y < s->height`,
causing vc_clear_xy() to be called with y == s->height. This clears
a row in the scrollback buffer beyond the visible screen.
