Getting this with 1.91 on Arch, it likes to happen during package updates for some reason. I found a hacky workaround - add this to your $PS1: \[\e[?1049l\e[?2004l\e[?1006l\e[?1002l\e[?1001r\e[?1l\] It'll fix it as soon as you get to a prompt. Given how randomly it happens, I believe there is a

Is that any reason why bash shouldn't always restore the the terminal settings after any program it launches exits? (where by "restore" I mean restore the settings as they were before launching the program, not necessarily the default ones). -- You received this bug notification because you are a

That's right. By convention, the expected behavior is that vim restores the terminal's settings. If it exits uncleanly, it might leave the terminal in a nondefault state, to which usually typing "reset", or closing the terminal and opening a new one might be an easy workaround. I've always wonder

2016-04-05 Thread Egmont Koblinger
The behavior you describe happens when the terminal switches to the so- called "alternate screen" upon encountering a certain escape sequence that is printed by your application. Usually fullscreen applications (such as the "mc" file manager, "less" pager, text editors etc.) use this mode. If it g
