Description
Description
And then only in edge cases:
- when I install micro in a prooted Debian container inside Termux (
sudo apt install micro) - and only when I ssh into that container from Termux.
Inside a VNC session to the prooted Debian, opening a Terminal, micro runs normally.
On all other platforms (native Termux, Linux, macOS) it runs normally.
And I found a fix on openwrt (where is also runs normally):
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/micro-text-editor/107764/4
wget https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases/download/v2.0.10/micro-2.0.10-linux-arm64.tar.gz -qO- |tar xz && mv ./*/micro /usr/bin
I repeated it in the earlier mentioned prooted Debian container and it worked normally.
Environment
- Version: 2.0.15
- OS: Debian (prooted under Termux only when ssh'ed into)
- Terminal: Termux started as SSH from macOS

Research direction
No source file or test is identified. First reproduce the blank editor in the reported prooted Debian-in-Termux setup when accessed over SSH, then compare it with the working VNC and other-platform cases and the referenced OpenWrt release command. Done means micro no longer goes blank in the reported SSH scenario without regressing the working cases.
