Fill-in screen value redisplay different between TTY and GUI
The following code behaves differently if the user mistakenly types an
invalid character, depending on whether they are running on a GUI or
a character-based (TTY) platform:
DEF VAR i AS INT NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR j AS INT NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN i = 22 j = 3.
UPDATE i j.
Enter a number other than 22 at i, tab to j, tab to i again, enter
invalid char ("a"). In TTY mode, this will redisplay initial value
of 22 instead of the last-entered value. On GUI platforms, the
last-entered value is left displayed.
This behavior is expected, due to the differences in how the screen
buffer works between Character and GUI.
