    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We agree this is a test suite deficiency in the test suite version(s) listed.

    This test is relying on addch() returning ERR when executed on the last
    character position in the screen with scrolling disabled. While this is
    standard practice and thus arguably should be in the spec, it is not
    and thus the test should not require it.
