Screenshot showing yast2 sw_single run in konsole

Following a recent update to openSUSE Tumbleweed, YaST2 sw_single no longer runs correctly in an xterm.  The interface is completely garbled an unusable (see screenshot).  This happens when running every X11 terminal emulator I've tried (gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm).  However, the interface still looks good when run from a text console.

This issue will be a particular problem for those hit by Bug 1054150, which makes it impossible to start the GUI version of sw_single.

htop has a similar problem (see attached screenshot).  Perhaps the problem is in ncurses?

This problem happens on my system too.
I switched many mono fonts, but didn't help.
CTRL + L works only for htop.

Seems to be the same problem described in Bug 1054448.
