Thank you for the reply.

My apologies for failing to include version numbers.

I originally tested on Ubuntu 24.04.  I have now also tested on Ubuntu 25.1=
0.

On Ubuntu 24.04, the unexpected behavior is present.
The package is:
ncurses-bin  6.4+20240113-1ubuntu2

On Ubuntu 25.10, tput behaves correctly.
The package is:
ncurses-bin  6.5+20250216-2build1

So it appears the problem was fixed at some point prior to 6.5+20250216.

Thank you for the assistance.

Cheers,
