Can anyone ncurses expertise explain why this happens with CursesDriver?

See original GitHub issue

This is caused by the use of this line reset_shell_mode (); in the binding.cs file. This avoid writing reset every time when quitting the UICatalog. Running the Editor scenario the first time and open the Find/Replace dialog corrupts the output. Pressing Ctrl+Q to quit and running again the Editor, this corruption doesn’t happens anymore. I want some help to try fix this issue, please.

For the first time I used the .devcontainer\devcontainer.json in the VS Code and was very useful.

@tznind can you confirm if it works for you too, please? The test errors maybe are caused by the clipboard tests, but since I only tested on Windows I received no errors. I have to test it on Linux.

Can confirm that the rendering/cursor corruption does not seem to be present on the above branch of your fork. Good stuff!

I am getting 276 failing tests when I run dotnet test though. They seem to all be complaining about this:
