Upon further tests, altscreen just cleans up the screen when applications like vim are closed. It seems that it's the termcapinfo in /usr/share/screen-profiles/profiles/common that's keeping the backlog in the terminal after closing/detaching screen.
** Summary changed: - screen-profiles does not respect 'altscreen' option + screen-profiles should clean up text after closing ** Description changed: Binary package hint: screen-profiles - If one sets 'altscreen on' in ~/.screenrc, the option is not respected - by screen-profiles. + It would be nice if any backlog in the terminal was cleaned up after + closing/detaching screen and just displaying the default "[screen + detached]". - Instead of clearing any backlog left by screen and displaying [screen - detached], the coloured bar is left along with everything else. + However the termcapinfo option; the buttom coloured bar is left along + with everything else. -- screen-profiles should clean up text after closing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349677 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
