Checked your fix, and I can confirm it fixes the problem.
It is (as expected) a much better fix than the one I proposed.
Merci beaucoup for including it on both main-line and 5.3 branch.

I still have some other TUI problems I am working on. These are:
- configure test should check for (n)curses when --enable-tui
  (now it also accepts termcap). Cygwin check for (n)curses is wrong
  and produces the wrong Makefile (links with -ltermcap instear of -lncurses).
- first TUI screen (after starting gdb and entering tui with C-X A)
  is garbled. Needs a 'refresh' command to draw correctly.
- changing window heights with 'wh' works only partially because
  command window is not treated correctly (Curses info for command window
  is not updated).
- Handling of terminal window resize (SIGWINCH) not working on Cygwin.

All these are on a Cygwin system.

As soon as I have some more concrete info and fixes I'll report back.
