On the -current mailing list around Nov 2 1998, in the thread "screen not restored on exit of (less|more|vi|.*)" (check the archives). The relevant termcap properties are te and ti, and several solutions are given in the thread (including using the 'xterm' termcap entry from XFree86 after fixing a bug in it). See the following entry from Mike Smith: > It is indeed the te/ti escapes. I don't know what you've done, but it > was decided by many people that the use of te/ti was basically ugly > (and it has some bad associated bugs) so it was disabled. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
