Another thing to check for, as I remember I had a lot of issues with this on one of my compiles...

What interface mode are you running SyncTERM in? At the top line (Again, not trying to talk dumb - just saving time..) you see something like this:

 SyncTERM 1.1 Debug (Jun 30 2021) - SDL

The last bit can be SDL, X11, Curses, CursesASCII, CursesIBM or ANSI modes.

When I didn't have SDL prerequisites installed correctly, Sync would run in either curses or X11 mode; neither of which gave ME the best results. I know that some of that is dependant on your Linux install, as far as which mode you want/need to run in, but I'm on Kubuntu (and Arch, Manjaro & Debian) and SDL always has the most functionality for ME. Other modes don't allow me to open the window to full-screen and curses didn't display ANSI correctly all the time if I was in a GUI - sure its needed for CLI functionality, but... are you running in SDL mode? 

LOL - 1.1 works for ME, but you might have different luck, then, actually using the nightly build??? At least those are the next few things I'd check. :P 

Nightly builds can be had using wget:
