A question about Ncurses wattron(body, A_REVERSE) in C...

This will be a vague question so I'm hoping somebody experienced with Ncurses can help.

I have a pad named body that I print arrays of data onto.

On one array, when I call

Code:

wattron(body, A_REVERSE);

Only the first element of the array gets highlighted(reversed) which is what I want.

However, on another array that I have, when I call this function, instead of just the 1 element of the array being highlighted, all of the elements are highlighted.

I am trying to figure out what causes this. I have compared both functions for each array and they both look similar.

Without having any code and the data you use it is simply impossible to help you with that.
