Package: xterm
Version: 293-1
Severity: minor
I have no idea where to submit this.
xterm, bash, icewm, nodm, linux, terminfo?
A very very very heavily loaded system is the only place you can see
this, and only if you are lucky.
There I was in xterm,
I did
$ w3m file.html
$ ls; etc.
$ top
As the top(1) command starts 'painting' the screen,
one sees the beginning contents of the previous w3m screen momentarily,
and those contents were supposedly cleaned off the screen upon close of w3m.
even though w3m is no longer running.
I bet it is using some 'kernel buffers' or maybe just bad Terminfo
sequences. But please clear the buffer before making the "frame", even
if those first few characters will flash only momentarily.
