This is a display-dependant "feature" (ie if you attach a different
display to your console, it might go away).

The fault lies not with Curses, but Term[cap|info] handling of standout.
If the ansi entry in your term[cap|info] database includes the "ms"
capability, removing it often helps this problem.
