This is with gnupg 2.1.2 from Debian experimental, on amd64. I wanted to use
pinentry in tty mode, because I didn't have an X display available. I was
using GNU screen and logged in with PuTTY 0.6.4 on Windows 7 64 bit.
While pinentry worked, the display was all skewed.
I've attached a screenshot.
I just tried running pinentry-curses under screen on debian in an
xfce4-terminal. (You can run it directly from the command line by running
pinentry-curses and then typing 'getpin'.) I wasn't able to reproduce what I
saw in your screenshot. Also, I saw the proper symbolic characters to paint the
widget's borders (see screenshot).
I've make some changes to pinentry-curses recently. Perhaps you can try that
version (git). If you get the same results, does hitting control-L correctly
repaint the screen?
What program were you running? Perhaps it messed with the terminal settings.

Thanks for your quick reply. I meant: what program were you running on your
Debian box in screen? I doubt you directly called pinentry. Were you running
mutt? Were you running gpg?
Thanks.
Here is my .screenrc
#change the hardstatus settings to give
an window list at the bottom of the
#screen, with the time and date and with
the current window highlighted
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= bK}%-Lw%{=

I tried your screen configuration and I couldn't reproduce the problem.
Perhaps putty is configuring something differently. Can you reproduce the
problem when putty is not used (e.g., directly on the console or ssh'ing from a
GNU/Linux box)?
I will try this afternoon.

OK, I'll try that too.

I tried it in PuTTY without screen and it was not skewed. The line draw
characters looked funny (which I'm assuming is a Unicode thing), but they
were in a rectangle.

Hi Brian,
My best guess is that putty is advertising some terminal capabilities
that it does not (completely) support.
Thanks for your help,
Neal
