tclearregion() was clearing regions using spaces and the current attributes of the terminal. It was correct with all the modes excepct underline, because they didn't affect the space character, but in the case of underline it was a problem. A easy way of seeing this problem is writing this in the last line of the terminal: tput smul ; echo first; tput rmul; echo second; echo third Fist was underlined, and second and third were not underlined, but the spaces at the right of second was underlined becuause in the previous scrool underline mode was set.
